The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an American agency responsible for science and technology related to air and space.

Have you ever wondered how the inventions of the NASA can impact your daily life? There are so many products that you probably didn’t know that it comes from the results of NASA research and development.

In this paper I’ll explain you in details how inventions made by NASA changed our daily lives. I hope that with the research that I made, students and teachers will learn as much as I did.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an American agency responsible for science and technology related to air and space. It was established in 1958 by Dwight D. Eisenhower (34th President …show more content…

These satellites are designed for the observations of the atmosphere, biosphere, land surface and oceans of the Earth.

The NASA is best known for their space flights, satellites and missions such as the Apollo, but this is not the only thing you should know. There are so much more things you should know about NASA.

Have you ever thought that the NASA is really occupied with designing and developing products for us? They ameliorate life on earth for everyone by creating new technologies. They improve everything such as medical devices, software tools and safety. These technologies make our lives safer, easier and better.

NASA designs and develops products in different fields such as transport, consumer goods, health and medicine, public safety, environment and resources management, industrial productivity and computer technology.

One of the most important things is that they are not just improving our lives, but they also create jobs, generate revenue and they even save …show more content…

This can be for the observation of the Earth, navigation satellites, weather satellites and of course communication satellites. In 2015, there are around 2000 satellites in Earth’s orbit just for communication! These satellites are being used by government and private organizations.

The NASA worked with other companies to build an aircraft flying at high altitudes. They tried to make it fly with solar power so the aircraft wasn’t too heavy, and it was a success. Thanks to this invention, a lot of homes are now equipped with solar panels. This is a very efficient and environmentally friendly way to create energy compared to other methods.

The sun constantly emits charged particles, x-rays and ultraviolet radiation. What solar panels do, is simply converting them into electricity. This will reduce air pollution that is causing global warming.

And today you can see that we use these solar panels for different things such as road signs, hot water, calculators, cars and of course satellites.

One of the most important things when exploring is maybe the robots that NASA create. They could perform tasks that humans otherwise would have to do. For example moving large objects in space, exploring when on the moon or mars, helping humans in a space station… A Robonaut is an example of a humanoid robot that is built and designed at
