Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: Civilian U.S. federal space agency, successor to NACA (1958–present). NOT to be confused with international space agencies or private space companies.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government established on July 29, 1958, in response to Soviet advances in space exploration following Sputnik. It succeeded the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) to lead America's civilian space program with a focus on peaceful applications. NASA has conducted most major U.S. spaceflight programs including Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, the Space Shuttle, and the International Space Station. In June 2022, NASA formed an independent study team to investigate unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) from a scientific perspective, releasing findings in September 2023 that identified many UAP events as explainable phenomena (aircraft, drones, weather) while noting some remain unexplained due to insufficient data.

A Administração Nacional de Aeronáutica e Espaço (NASA) é uma agência independente do governo federal dos EUA estabelecida em 29 de julho de 1958, em resposta aos avanços soviéticos na exploração espacial após o Sputnik. Sucedeu o Comitê Consultivo Nacional para Aeronáutica (NACA) para liderar o programa espacial civil americano com foco em aplicações pacíficas. A NASA conduziu a maioria dos principais programas de voo espacial americano, incluindo Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, o Ônibus Espacial e a Estação Espacial Internacional. Em junho de 2022, a NASA formou um time de estudo independente para investigar fenômenos anómalos não identificados (UAP) sob perspectiva científica, publicando resultados em setembro de 2023 que identificaram muitos eventos UAP como fenômenos explicáveis (aeronaves, drones, clima) enquanto observou que alguns permanecem inexplicados devido a dados insuficientes.
