How to read this report

Safety Score evaluates observed signals. Evidence Confidence measures how complete, direct, fresh, and consistent those signals are.

No automated scan can guarantee that a website is safe.

Independent evidence brief

What we observed about nasa.gov

Updated Sep 26, 2026

The latest scan examined 10 public pages on nasa.gov. Website descriptions below come from the site itself. Registration, connection and threat findings were checked separately.

Purpose and visible content

On its About page, the site says: About NASA's mission, organization and leadership.

Registrar and domain history

Registered on Oct 2, 1997. Registrar: get.gov.

Recorded expiry date: Jul 31, 2027. Registry data can change.

Connection and hosting evidence

The checked homepage returned HTTP 200 in about 1000 ms.

A valid TLS certificate was observed, expiring Nov 9, 2026.

Threat checks and score context

External malware-provider coverage was unavailable. The report does not treat this missing check as a clean result.

Safety Score: 74/100. Evidence Confidence: 70%. These measure different things.

Latest recorded material change: The captured website appearance changed.

Why this score?

Versioned weights
Threat IntelligenceWeight 25%

Threat providers were unavailable. The neutral uncertainty baseline is not a clean verdict.

Domain registration age and expiry were checked.

Observed certificate validity and TLS protocol were checked.

Security HygieneWeight 15%
60/100

Observed security header values were checked for basic protective settings. Empty values, disabled HSTS and unrecognized values receive no credit. This is not a complete browser-policy validation.

TransparencyWeight 5%
52/100

Observed site metadata and About page were checked. Publisher-supplied details are not independently verified.

ReputationWeight 5%
50/100

Popularity is weak context, not proof of safety. Unranked sites use a neutral baseline.

Operational StabilityWeight 15%
85/100

Observed HTTP status and final connection scheme were checked.

Server-side analysis

Automated security checks

Homepage HTML only · Eight local rule families · local-security-v1

Checks use the fetched page and redirect chain. Scripts are not executed, forms are not submitted, and linked files are not downloaded. This is not a malware clearance.

No listed local patterns observed. The limited rule set cannot detect every threat or behavior.

External threat intelligence

Provider coverageNot checked

Local checks do not query external reputation databases. An unavailable check is never a clean result.

Questions about nasa.gov

FAQ

Still have questions? Contact us →
Is nasa.gov safe to visit?

The latest Safety Score is 74/100 with 70% Evidence Confidence. This is a point-in-time assessment of observed technical signals, not a guarantee. Check the exact address and avoid entering payment details if anything looks unusual.

Did the scan detect malware on nasa.gov?

External threat-provider coverage was unavailable for this scan, so malware status is unverified.

When was nasa.gov registered?

The public registry record shows Oct 2, 1997. Registration details may be privacy-protected or updated later.

Did nasa.gov have a valid TLS certificate?

The scanner observed a valid TLS certificate using TLSv1.3. A valid certificate alone does not establish that the site is safe.

How does nasa.gov describe itself?

The website's About page describes its purpose in the report above. This is publisher-supplied information and is separate from independent security findings.

Can a paid listing change this website's score?

No. Premium placement and owner-supplied pages are labelled separately. Technical evidence, the Safety Score and moderation decisions remain independent.
