The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the highest-ranking official of that organization and serves as the senior space science adviser to the President of the United States. The current NASA Administrator is Michael D. Griffin, whose term started on April 14, 2005; he is the 11th person to hold the post. According to NASA, his role is to "lead the NASA team and manage its resources to advance the Vision for Space Exploration."[1]

The first NASA Administrator was Dr. T. Keith Glennan; during his term he brought together the disparate projects in space development research in the US.[2] Daniel Goldin held the post for the longest term, and is best known for pioneering the "faster, better, cheaper" approach to space programs.[3] The only person to hold the post twice is James C. Fletcher, who returned to NASA following the Challenger disaster.[4]

The current Deputy Administrator of NASA is Shana Dale, who started her term on November 4, 2005 and is also the 11th person to hold the post. According to NASA, "Dale serves as the agency’s second in command and is responsible to the administrator for providing overall leadership, planning, and policy direction for the agency. Dale represents NASA to the Executive Office of the President, Congress, heads of federal and other appropriate government agencies, international organizations, and external organizations and communities. Dale also oversees the day to day work of NASA’s functional offices, such as the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Office of General Counsel and Strategic Communications."[5]

The longest running (acting) Deputy Administrator was John R. Dailey, who held the post following his retirement from the United States Marine Corps.[6] The longest running full Deputy Administrator was Hugh Latimer Dryden, who was the first Deputy Administrator.[7] William R. Graham has held the post of Deputy Administrator twice, and was the Acting Administrator in between,[8] as did Frederick D. Gregory.[9] Dr. Daniel Mulville served as the acting Deputy Administrator twice, and was Acting Administrator in between.[10]
