NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

NASA has a bold new vision for the 21st century. In the heart of Silicon Valley, NASA is developing a world-class R&D campus: the NASA Research Park. This 200-hectacre (500-acre) area will be located at Moffett Field, federal property that NASA acquired when the Navy left in 1994. The area will be open to the public. Here the space agency and its new partners will pursue research leadership for the next century by creating a dynamic research and education community.

"It has always been NASA's business to inspire and manage innovation. Partnering with academia and industry, we will revolutionize the future, here, today. Our goal is to forge lasting alliances to do cutting-edge research and develop unique educational outreach tools and venues for teachers, students and the general public. What better place to bring these partners together than at the NASA Research Park, nestled in the birthplace of 'America's high-tech revolution' - Silicon Valley."

"Further advances in technology will come to fruition in the NASA Research Park in support of our nation's long-term space exploration objectives. Later, we will transfer those technologies for use in commercial ventures that will have an unlimited potential to provide a range of benefits here on Earth. While making these technology leaps, young minds will be educated and trained at the NASA Research Park to become the next generation of scientists and engineers."
