Synopsis

It was recently decided to create an arm of the Military to cover space operations. This is called Space Force, previously Space Command. In 1946, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) had been in charge of Civilian aviation, as well as several rocket-plane projects. They were involved in the early efforts to launch a satellite for the International Geophysical Year (actually 18 months). The launch of the Soviet satellite first was seen as a threat in several areas – national security and perceived technology world leadership. President Eisenhower directed NACA to form a special committee on space technology. A new civilian space agency would be formed to oversee and direct all non-military space activities. In 1958, the president signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, creating the NASA agency.
