    Bill Nelson

    As the 14th NASA administrator, Sen. Bill Nelson led America’s space agency from May 3, 2021, to Jan. 20, 2025. In that capacity, Nelson carried out President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ vision to propel American leadership on Earth, in the skies, and in the stars, for the benefit of all.

    Under Nelson’s leadership, NASA made leap after giant leap to explore, discover, and inspire – leading the world into a golden age of space-driven exploration, innovation, and collaboration – all while bringing real, tangible, and substantial benefits to the American people and to all of humanity.

    A fifth-generation Floridian whose ancestors came to Florida in 1829, Nelson represented the state for 18 years in the U.S. Senate and 12 years in the U.S. House of Representatives. He served on key committees, including as ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee and chairman of the Subcommittees on Science and Space in both the Senate and the House. 

    During NASA’s tenure, the NASA teams achievements included the below, among others.

    NASA launched the Artemis I uncrewed flight test. The first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems – the Orion spacecraft, the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket, and supporting ground systems – the Artemis I
