Included in this legacy is NASA's Glenn Research Center-which was established by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1941 to study all aspects of aircraft propulsion. It was incorporated into NASA in October 1958 and has been making the nation's most successful and notable aerospace missions possible for 85 years. As one of the leading research and innovation sites in the nation, NASA Glenn\'s highly skilled workforce and unique test facilities transform aviation, revolutionize space exploration, and inspire new discoveries for the benefit of all. NASA Glenn also serves as a regional economic engine, attracting scientific innovation and opportunities from around the world.\r\n\r\nDr. James A.
