The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was an agency of the United States government, established in 1958, to be responsible for that nation's civilian space program. NASA continued to operate into the mid 21st century, occasionally in cooperation with other global agencies. By the early 22nd century, NASA apparently was incorporated into the United Earth Space Probe Agency, which would later become part of the Starfleet of the United Federation of Planets.
Among the notable missions administrated by NASA are:
- Apollo 11 - the first manned landing on Luna, in 1969
- Enterprise (OV-101) - the first Earth space vehicle to bear the name, commissioned in 1976
- Voyager VI - an automated probe launched in 1999, which later returned to Earth as "V'Ger" (movie: Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
- Ares IV - an early manned mission to Mars, administrated in conjunction with the International Space Agency, in 2032. (VOY episode: "One Small Step")
- Charybdis - the third manned mission to explore beyond the Sol system, in 2037 (TNG episode: "The Royale")
