These events occurred in parallel to the early feasibility studies of the Apollo program and NASA had already identified a desire to send a gravimeter to the Moon as early as February 1960. [ 11 ] Teams from University of California, Los Angeles , Princeton University and University of Maryland (led by Weber) would for several years attempt to ...
Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) is a NASA program to hire companies to send small robotic landers and rovers to the Moon.Most landing sites are near the lunar south pole [1] [2] where they will scout for lunar resources, test in situ resource utilization (ISRU) concepts, and perform lunar science to support the Artemis lunar program.
On October 1, 1958, the agency was dissolved and its assets and personnel were transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NACA is an initialism, i.e., pronounced as individual letters, rather than as a whole word [2] (as was NASA during the early years after being established). [3]

Congress established the Ames Research Center (Ames) in 1939 as the Ames Aeronautical Laboratory under the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). Ames has grown to occupy approximately 500 acres (2.0 km 2) at Moffett Field, adjacent to the Naval Air Station Moffett Field in Santa Clara County, California, in the center of the region that would, in the 1990s, become known as ...
NASA has created many apps, some of which feature NASA LSP and its spacecraft. [ 154 ] [ 155 ] One popular app is Spacecraft 3D, which features several spacecraft launched by LSP. Developed by JPL , the app allows uses to take 3D tours of many JPL spacecraft using a printed piece of paper and their phone or tablet.
The National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex (NFAC) is located at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California. The NFAC was closed by NASA in 2003. In February 2006, AEDC entered into an agreement with NASA to lease the facility for a period of up to 25 years. McKinley Climatic Laboratory, Eglin AFB, Florida
On 26 March 1976, the center was renamed the NASA Ames-Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) [8] after Hugh L. Dryden, a prominent aeronautical engineer who died in office as NASA's deputy administrator in 1965 and Joseph Sweetman Ames, who was an eminent physicist, and served as president of Johns Hopkins University.
