What is NASA\u2019s Launch Services Program?<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

NASA\u2019s Launch Service Program, or LSP, is responsible for launching science and robotic missions delivering spacecraft that observe the Earth, visit other planets, and explore the universe, ranging from weather satellites, telescopes, CubeSats, to Mars Rovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1998, LSP has been bringing together those with a payload needing a ride to space with launch vehicle providers. The LSP team at the agency\u2019s Kennedy Space Center works to provide reliable, competitive, and user-friendly launch services in the commercial arena to satisfy agency-wide space transportation requirements and maximize the opportunities for mission success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LSP Education & Outreach<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The LSP Education and Outreach Office supports NASA’s educational goals to improve the quality of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education in the US, develop and deliver activities that support the growth of NASA’s and the Nation’s STEM workforce, and engage Americans in NASA’s mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
