Review & FAQ:

The Goddard Space Flight Center is a NASA research base in Greenbelt, Maryland dedicated to developing and operating unmanned scientific spacecraft and satellites.

This huge complex employs over 10,000 people and plays a vital role in our knowledge of the Earth, the solar system, and the universe.

The Goddard Space Flight Center has a small visitor’s center that displays spacecraft and technology, an educator’s resource center, and lots of videos.

Particularly popular is a video feed of the surface of our sun. Special events are held throughout the year, and a small gift shop sells reasonably priced NASA souvenirs.
