Applying the spirit of Silicon Valley to NASA’s mission.
Core business
NASA’s Ames Research Center has led NASA in conducting world-class research and development in aeronautics, exploring technology and science aligned with the center’s core capabilities. They lead national research initiative to devise the best ways for commercial drones, flying cars and today’s aircraft to safely share the skies. Additionally, they are combining biology and space technology with two driving aims: detecting life off of our planet, and understanding how Earth life is different in space, so healthy humans can explore from the Moon to Mars.
Their core areas of expertise include entry systems, advanced computing and IT systems, aerosciences, air traffic management, astrobiology and life sciences, cost-effective space missions, intelligent/adaptive systems, and space and earth sciences.
