NASA is more than astronauts. The National Aeronautics & Space Administration are groups of scientists, engineers, computer programmers, personnel specialists, accountants, writers, maintenance workers and many other kinds of people. who are developing new ways for us to explore our universe.
NASA space technology is helping doctors diagnose and monitor treatments for hardening of the arteries in its early stages, before it causes heart attacks and strokes.
Hospitals and doctors around the country are using ArterioVision software initially developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to help painlessly examine the carotid artery, which carries blood from the heart to the brain.
NASA does scientific research and works on developing applications for space technology, and they also developed the first weather and communications satellites.
In 2000, the United States and Russia established permanent human presence in space aboard the international space station, a multinational project representing the work of 16 nations.
NASA conducts its work in four principle organizations, called mission directorates:
Aeronautics: pioneering and proving new flight technologies that improve our ability to explore and which have practical applications on Earth.
Exploration Systems: creating new capabilities for affordable, sustainable human and robotic exploration
Science: exploring the Earth, moon, Mars and beyond; charting the best route of discovery; and reaping the benefits of Earth and space exploration for society.
Space Operations: providing critical enabling technologies for much of the rest of NASA through the space shuttle, the international space station and flight support.
