The US space agency has held a day of remembrance for astronauts who have died in the line of duty, particularly the seven who died in the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
Flags flew at half-mast at Nasa installations across the country.
"The legacy of those who have perished is present every day... and inspires generations of new space explorers," Nasa Administrator Charles Bolden said.
Friday is the 25th anniversary of the Challenger disaster.
The shuttle exploded 73 seconds after launch at an altitude of 14,000 metres (46,000ft), killing all on board.
