Science and Robotic Spacecraft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NASA\u2019s Launch Services Program is responsible for NASA\u2019s science and robotic missions that study and observe earth, visit other planets, and explore the solar system ranging from telescopes and weather satellites to Mars rovers and asteroid redirecting spacecraft. The work performed by NASA\u2019s Launch Services Program (LSP) is entirely focused on the spacecraft customer\u2019s mission needs. In other words, the work of LSP benefits the goals of the spacecraft, which ultimately benefits society through the legacy of scientific discovery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of LSP\u2019s spacecraft customers include other NASA centers, research institutions, international partners, other United States\u2019 government agencies, and universities and high schools across the United States launching small research satellites (CubeSats).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
