NASA is the US "National Aeronautics and Space Administration", the US government's civilian space agency. NASA was responsible for early rocket testing and the first US manned missions, culminating in the exploration of the Moon in the 1960's and 1970's. The agency created the first US space station, Skylab. NASA now operates the Space Shuttle fleet and services the Interplanetary Space Station (ISS) as well as launching unmanned probes to other planets and locations in the solar system. NASA also sponsors advanced aeronautic research. The coming programs from NASA include a manned Lunar Outpost (by 2019) and missions to Mars and other planets using the upcoming Orion spacecraft design. (see related link)
