Before going through the directors, mission and budget let’s understand what is NASA in simple words. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration works as an independent agency belong to the U.S. Fedral Government. The world famous agency is responsible for civil space program, aeronautics research and space research.

NASA is well known for leding American space exploration and the agency also supports the International Space stations. Aim of Nasa scientist is to focus on earth observing system to understand deeply about the earth. Science Mission Directorates Heliophysics Research Program is for advancing heliophysics (science of sun).
