Every U.S. aircraft has Glenn technology on board, making flight 

cleaner, safer, and quieter. Glenn is exploring next-generation 

electrified propulsion, advanced materials, communication systems 

for advanced air mobility, and supersonic and hypersonic flight. 

The road to the Moon goes through Ohio. Glenn’s world-class 

test facilities and unrivaled expertise in power, propulsion, 

and communications are crucial to advancing Artemis and the 

Moon to Mars efforts. The center is developing the Power and 

Propulsion Element for Gateway and power systems for the 

surface of the Moon and Mars.

Glenn’s test facilities in Cleveland and Sandusky bring NASA, 

military, and private industry customers to Ohio. The Neil 

Armstrong Test Facility is home to the world’s largest and 

most powerful space environment simulation chambers. It is 

responsible for full-scale testing of the Orion spacecraft.

The FY21 Center budget was $802.4 million.
