The agency even named one of its space shuttles "Enterprise" after Star Trekfans launched a letter-writing campaign in the 1970s. The shuttle was originally going to be named the Constitution to celebrate the bicentennial in 1976.
The Space Shuttle Enterprise never went to space, but its flight tests did help NASA engineers learn more about how to safely fly the other orbiters to space and back again.
Astronauts have also brought their love of the series to space with them.
European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti wore Star Trek-themed clothing during her time above Earth and paid tribute to Leonard Nimoy -- who played Spock in the original series -- along with NASA astronaut Terry Virts when Nimoy died in 2015.

NASA astronauts also have a habit of re-creating their favorite movie posters for unofficial mission photos ahead of a launch to the Space Station or (previously) on the space shuttle.
For example, the crew of a space shuttle mission launched in 2011 parodied the 2009 Star Trek movie reboot for their poster.
The Expedition 21 crew to the Space Station also used a Star Trektheme for their own parody poster.
NASA scientists and engineers also appear to be big fans of Star Wars, Fireflyand many other space-related series or movies.
