The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is a leading authority in space exploration and aeronautics, headquartered in JP. Established in 1958, NASA has been at the forefront of scientific discovery, with significant milestones including the Apollo moon-landing missions and the Mars Rover explorations. Operating across various regions, including the Kennedy Space Center and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA focuses on advancing human spaceflight, Earth science, and planetary exploration. Its core services encompass satellite deployment, space missions, and research in aeronautics, distinguished by cutting-edge technology and innovative approaches. Recognised globally for its contributions to science and technology, NASA continues to inspire future generations while maintaining a prominent position in the aerospace industry.
How does NASA's carbon action stack up? DitchCarbon scores companies based on their carbon action and commitment to reducing emissions. Read about our methodology to learn more.
Mean score of companies in the Extra-Territorial Organizations industry. Comparing a company's score to the industry average can give you a sense of how well the company is doing compared to its peers.
NASA's score of 25 is higher than 91% of the industry. This can give you a sense of how well the company is doing compared to its peers.
NASA's carbon emissions data for the most recent year is currently unavailable, as no specific emissions figures have been provided. Consequently, there are no recorded emissions in kg CO2e, and no reduction targets or climate pledges have been established or reported. As of now, NASA does not inherit emissions data from any parent organisation, and there are no specific initiatives or commitments outlined under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. This lack of data suggests that NASA may still be in the process of developing or formalising its climate commitments and reduction strategies. In the broader context, NASA is known for its significant role in climate research and technology development, which may influence its future emissions strategies and commitments. However, without specific data or targets, it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of their current climate impact or commitments.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
NASA is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
