NASA Ames Research Center

US

The Ames Research Center (ARC), a major NASA research facility in California's Silicon Valley, plays a crucial role in many NASA missions. As one of NASA's ten field centers, Ames conducts research and develops technologies for space exploration, aeronautics, and information technology. It is a leader in astrobiology, small satellites, robotic lunar exploration, and the search for habitable planets, contributing to missions like Kepler and SOFIA. NASA Ames also develops advanced supercomputing, intelligent systems, and thermal protection for various space programs.
