The ingenuity and problem-solving capabilities of personnel at Ames have affected all our lives in numerous ways, from everyday air travel to how we envision the possibility of life on other worlds. Ames evolved as a special place where state-of-the-art facilities and world-class talent melded to produce cutting-edge research in fields such as aerodynamics, thermodynamics, simulation, space and life sciences, and intelligent systems. Basic and applied research have been cornerstones of Ames since its founding as an aeronautical laboratory. That laboratory was an expansion of the first National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or NACA, facilities at Langley Aeronautical Laboratory in Hampton, Virginia, and it transitioned to research center with the advent of NASA in 1958.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/reference\/ames-history\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button-primary link-external-true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"section-heading-md\">\n                                Read a Brief History of Ames <span class=\"usa-sr-only\">about <\/span>                            <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-5 padding-left-0 desktop:padding-left-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row margin-bottom-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col border-top-1px border-color-carbon-30-important padding-top-2 margin-right-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"label margin-0 color-carbon-50-important\">Location<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p-lg font-weight-bold margin-0 padding-0\">Moffett Field, CA<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col border-top-1px border-color-carbon-30-important padding-top-2 margin-left-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"label margin-0 color-carbon-50-important\">Founded<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p-lg font-weight-bold margin-0 padding-0\">December 20, 1939<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col border-top-1px border-color-carbon-30-important padding-top-2 margin-right-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"label margin-0 color-carbon-50-important\">Staff in 1940<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p-lg font-weight-bold margin-0 padding-0\">Less than 60<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col border-top-1px border-color-carbon-30-important padding-top-2 margin-left-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"label margin-0 color-carbon-50-important\">first Director<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p-lg font-weight-bold margin-0 padding-0\">Smith J.
