WELCOME TO NASA HEADQUARTERS

NASA Headquarters, in Washington, provides overall guidance and direction to the
agency, under the leadership of the Administrator. Ten field centers and a
variety of installations around the country conduct the day-to-day work in
laboratories, on air fields, in wind tunnels, and in control rooms. Together,
this skilled, diverse group of scientists, engineers, managers, and support
personnel share the Vision, Mission, and Values that are NASA.
 



To implement NASA’s Mission, NASA Headquarters is organized into five principal
organizations called Mission Directorates:





























 * Aeronautics: Pioneers and proves new flight technologies that improve our
   ability to explore and which have practical applications on Earth.
    
 * Exploration Systems Development: Development programs for deep space
   exploration, including Artemis missions.
    
 * Space Operations: Space operations in low-Earth orbit.
    
 * Science: Explores the Earth, moon, Mars, and beyond; charts the best route of
   discovery; and reaps the benefits of Earth and space exploration for society.
    
 * Space Technology: A catalyst for the creation of technologies and innovation
   needed to maintain NASA leadership in space while also benefiting America's
   economy.
    
 * Mission Support:  Oversees the management of the institutional functional
   areas that support the Agency mission.
