Langley Research Center has been instrumental in shaping aerospace history for more than eight decades. Established in 1917 as the first national civil aeronautics laboratory, Langley has become a comprehensive, world-class center for aeronautics, atmospheric sciences, and space technology. LaRC’s mission and contribution to the NASA vision is designed to enable U.S. leadership in aeronautics and space into the 21st century. Seventy percent of NASA Langley’s effort is in aeronautics research, working to improve today’s aircraft and to develop concepts for future aircraft. The Center’s primary mission assignments are Airframe Systems and Atmospheric Sciences. Langley is also the Agency’s Center of Excellence for structures and materials research as well as the Agency’s focal point for wind tunnels and test facilities. The Center manages high-payoff Agency programs in aviation safety, airframe systems, high-speed research, and advanced subsonics. LaRC supports the Nation’s space programs by conducting a dynamic program in atmospheric sciences, seeking a more detailed understanding of Earth’s atmosphere. Langley researchers also develop technology for advanced space transportation systems and for small spacecraft and instruments. NASA Langley’s research includes systems analysis/integration/assessment, aerodynamics, aerothermodynamics, hypersonic propulsion, structures, materials, atmospheric sciences and remote sensing, and airborne systems, including crew station design and integration.
