The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the independent agency for space exploration and aeronautics. It pursues crewed and uncrewed space missions, Earth-observation satellites, space telescopes, and aviation R&D.
It increasingly relies on commercial partners (e.g., SpaceX) for launch and transport, making it a major awarder in space-related procurement. A highly technical agency, it sits at the intersection of science, security, and industrial development.
