When it began operations on Oct. 1, 1958, NASA consisted mainly of the four laboratories and some 80 employees of the government's 46-year-old research agency, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, was established on May 1, 1959, as NASA's first spaceflight center.

In celebration of its 60th year, we look back at the innovations and scientific impacts the women and men of Goddard have made throughout its history.
