The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a U.S. federal agency that has partnered with NASA on multiple projects. These projects include ensuring spacecrafts are germ-free, using satellite data to research the effects of environmental hazards on public health, and studying biofilms in space to improve water recycling systems on the International Space Station (ISS). They also worked together to create a Mobile Quarantine Facility used by the Apollo 11 mission. The CDC provides real-time data to promote health, by disseminating disease prevention and treatment information in developing countries using Intelsat General connectivity.
