NASA is an independent federal agency that provides cutting-edge technologies here on Earth.About the Meatball LogoThe iconic meatball logo was created by James Modarelli in 1959 and used until 1975. The meatball was originally intended to demonstrate the agency's capacity to push forward into new frontiers. In the spherical design, the planet is represented by the ball, space by the stars, a red chevron wing represents aeronautics, and an orbiting spacecraft revolves around the wing. The meatball name wasn't coined until 1975, when NASA decided to go with a more modern logo—the retro worm emblem.
