According to the act NASA was to conduct research on the problems of flight in and out of the atmosphere, with and without human pilots, and to cooperate with other nations in the peaceful exploration of space. NASA is responsible for many satellites including [[Landsat]], which was a series of satellites for the collection of information on natural resources, communication satellites and weather satellites.  The [[Project Apollo]] program under NASA led to several alleged  landings on the "[[Moon]]" from 1969-1972.  It is also the designer and developer of the [[space shuttle]].
