On January 20, NASA published an extensive report in honor of the first anniversary of President Donald Trump’s second term. The agency highlighted a “Golden Age” of American leadership in spaceflight, as NASA makes measurable progress in human spaceflight, scientific aviation and cutting-edge space technology.
Since the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States, NASA has sharpened its mission to align with Trump’s National Space Policy, strengthening U.S. superiority in space and spurring progress in research and innovation.
President Trump’s commitment to space exploration has been a defining force, shaping every aspect of this progress.
During his first term, the United States established the US Space Force, which has since been successfully launched.
The Space Force helped advance the Artemis Accords, which have now grown to 60 signatories and continue to develop.
In the first year of the president’s second term, NASA conducted two human spaceflight missions and successfully tested a new X-plane while accelerating lunar exploration.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said, “In the first year of this administration, NASA has advanced Trump’s bold vision for American leadership in space with clarity, purpose and momentum.”
U.S. astronauts will return to the moon’s surface by 2028 under President Trump’s leadership to establish a sustainable human presence with a lunar base.
With a focused mission, a robust workforce and strong partnerships, NASA enters the second year of President Trump’s second term positioned to lead the world, strengthen U.S. leadership in space and unlock discoveries that will benefit humanity for decades.
