NASA Mission and Vision
Vision We reach for new heights and reveal the unknown
for the benefit of humankind.
Mission Drive advances in
science, technology, aeronautics and space exploration to enhance knowledge, education, innovation, economic
vitality, and stewardship of Earth.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Mission and Vision
Vision KSC is the world’s
preeminent launch complex for government
and commercial space access, enabling the world
to explore and work in space.
Mission KSC safely manages,
develops, integrates and sustains space systems through partnerships
that enable innovative, diverse access to space
and inspires the nation’s future explorers.
