Launch Services Program

The Launch Services Program (LSP) is a NASA initiative responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing rocket launches for space missions. It manages the selection of launch vehicles, schedules launches, and ensures all safety and technical standards are met. By working with various providers and stakeholders, LSP ensures satellites, scientific instruments, and spacecraft are launched efficiently and reliably into space. Essentially, it acts as the organizer and overseer to make sure space missions take off smoothly and successfully.
