History
Pioneering spaceflight and innovation
Named for American rocketry pioneer Dr. Robert H. Goddard, the center was established May 1, 1959, as NASA's first space flight complex.
Dr. Robert Hutchings Goddard (1882-1945) is considered the father of modern rocket propulsion. A physicist of great insight, Goddard also had a unique genius for invention. It is in memory of this brilliant scientist that NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, was established on May 1, 1959.

Why We Go To Space
Human space exploration helps to address fundamental questions about our place in the Universe and the history of our solar system.
NASA’s robotics technology has allowed us to send robotic orbiters, landers, and rovers ahead of us to study other planets and identify potential signs for life. On the International Space Station, NASA and their partners have used robotic technology extensively, to lorem and ipsum the dolor sit amets and more.

Kate’s Space Station Science Scrapbook
Culturing beating heart cells in space
The Heart Cells investigation uses human skin cells that are induced to become stem cells, which researchers force to grow into human heart cells. On seeing the heart cells beat for the first time, Kate said, “There’s a few things that have made me gasp out loud up on board the [space] station. Seeing the planet was one of them, but I gotta say, getting these cells in focus and watching heart cells actually beat has been another pretty big one.”
Introducing a new crop to the space station
Many plants are grown on ISS to study how light and soil conditions affect growth, and how they can help astronauts maintain a nutritious diet on long-duration missions. The Assessment of Nutritional Value and Growth Parameters of Space-grown Plants investigation adds radishes to the mix.

Perseverance, nicknamed Percy, is a car-sized Mars rover designed to explore the crater Jezero on Mars as part of NASA’s Mars 2020 mission. It was manufactured by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and launched on 30 July 2020, at 11:50 UTC. Confirmation that the rover successfully landed on Mars was received on 18 February 2021, at 20:55 UTC. As of 31 August 2021, Perseverance has been active on Mars for 189 sols (194 Earth days) since its landing. Following the rover’s arrival, NASA named the landing site Octavia E. Butler Landing.
