adapted for many non-aerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains<br />
a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in<br />
aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general.<br />
Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view<br />
Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way.<br />
NASA’s mission is to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific<br />
discovery, and aeronautics research and conducts its work through four<br />
mission directorates:<br />
• Aeronautics: pioneers and proves new flight technologies that<br />
improve our ability to explore and which have practical applications<br />
on Earth.<br />
• Exploration Systems: creates new capabilities and spacecraft for<br />
affordable, sustainable human and robotic exploration.<br />
• Science: explores the Earth, Moon, Mars and beyond; charts the<br />
best route of discovery; and reaps the benefits of Earth and space<br />
exploration for society.<br />
• Space Operations provides critical enabling technologies for much of<br />
the rest of NASA through the space shuttle, the International Space<br />
Station and flight support.<br />
