'We reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humankind'
The United States Government's National Aeronautical and Space Administration vision is gained by employing thousands of people who have been working around the world - and off of it - for more than 50 years, trying to answer some basic questions. What's out there in space? How do we get there? What will we find? What can we learn there, or learn just by trying to get there, that will make life better here on Earth?
All of the digital information, images and video gathered by NASA has been released into the public domain (with few exceptions). This vast collection, often taken with state of the art equipment, is accessible with minimal restrictions for personal and commercial use.
The collection is breathtaking ... in it's beauty, diversity of content and availability.

The NASA Image and Video Libraries contain hundreds & thousands of media files in categories including training, construction, research and development, space launches and the subsequent off-earth missions.
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is a research element of NASA responsible for satellite and remote robotic missions. JPL spaceimages have an incredible collection of planetary images from our solar system including the Mars rover missions and the Voyager 1 and 2 missions which are now travelling beyond the furthermost reaches of our sun's influence.
Humankind's view beyond our heliosphere has been captured with incredible detail since 1993 when the Hubble Space Telescope commenced returning spectacular images in unprecedented definition.

The Hubble Space Telescope is now reaching the end of it's operational life and is due to be replaced by the larger and technically advanced James Webb Space Telescope, which will continue to add to this already amazing media collection. The JWSP multi-media gallery already contains many images and video of the telescope's construction process which is due for launch in 2018.
