Twenty years before rockets carried the first humans out of our atmosphere, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the NACA, built a laboratory dedicated to aircraft propulsion. Built in 1941 in Cleveland, the lab became NASA’s Glenn Research Center. From testing some of the nation’s first jet engines and building innovative facilities, the lab has and applied its expertise to space since the founding of NASA.
