NASA was formed in response to the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, in 1957. The United States wanted to establish its presence in space exploration and ensure its technological superiority during the Cold War. NASA was created to coordinate and conduct civilian space activities, research aeronautics, and contribute to the peaceful exploration of space.
