NASA, or the National Aeronautics and Space Act, began in 1958. It was made by U.S. legislation for the purpose of creating a United States space program. This legislation was in response to the Soviet Unions’ the first man-made satellite, Sputnik I. 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. It is also the designer and developer of the space shuttle.
