Magnum Photographers 

Officially established in July 1958 by US President Eisenhower, NASA began operations on the 1st October that year. The preceding organisation NACA had existed since 1915, focusing on aeronautical developments but in 1958, after the successful launch of Sputnik, it evolved into NASA, a civilian agency focusing on space flight technology.
