From the mighty roar of rocket engines to extraordinary scientific discoveries about our universe, Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama is enabling the nation’s exploration of space as it has since 1960.

While the center inspired the "Rocket City" nickname of its hometown, propulsion is only one of the many cutting-edge exploration and research projects going on at Marshall. The center uses its talented team members, extensive experience and state-of-the-art facilities to serve the interests of both science and exploration.

The result? Increased understanding about our universe, ground-breaking scientific discoveries, improvements to life on Earth, and an improved ability to work and live in space.
