National Aeronautics and Space Administration
 PROFILE
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has developed technology used in everything from pacemakers to ski boot footwarmers. NASA was created in 1958, partly in response to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik. The Russian Space Agency now is one of NASA's chief partners in the $60 billion Intenational Space Station (ISS), which can house astronauts conducting research in space. NASA, whose Apollo program put men on the moon, also runs the space shuttle program and launches unmanned satellites and probes to explore the solar system. Strapped for funding (the agency gets less than 1% of total federal spending), NASA is seeking private industry's help in developing cheaper and safer space travel.
