About NASA Glenn Research Center
NASA Glenn Research Center's technical capabilities include aircraft propulsion, in-space propulsion and cryogenics, electrical power, energy storage and conversion, communications, and materials for extreme environments. The Lewis Field campus near Cleveland includes wind tunnels, drop towers, vacuum chambers and research-aircraft facilities. Glenn also operates the Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Sandusky, Ohio, which is distinct from NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center in California. The center collaborates with industry, universities and other agencies through research and testing partnerships. NASA civil-service recruiting and contractor employment are separate routes into work at its facilities.
