Description For more than 60 years, NASA has been breaking barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible—from walking on the Moon to pushing the boundaries of human spaceflight farther than ever before. We work in space and around the world in laboratories and wind tunnels, on airfields and in control rooms to explore some of life’s fundamental mysteries: What’s out there in space? How do we get there? And what can we learn that will make life better here on Earth?
The Air Force Test Center and its civilian workforce oversee developmental test and evaluation of air, space, & cyber systems to provide timely, objective, and accurate information to decision makers.
