| Obverse description | The obverse features the NASA "worm" logotype in bold, stylized sans-serif lettering centered within a raised circular border. The inscription NASA dominates the field in large relief characters, rendered in the distinctive rounded typographic style of the agency's 1975 logo design. The polished mirror field contrasts with the frosted matte finish of the lettering, giving the design a cameo-like appearance. No additional inscriptions, dates, or devices appear on this face. |

| Additional information |
The "worm" logotype — NASA's flowing, interconnected letterform — was designed by Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn in 1975, retired in 1992 in favor of the older "meatball" insignia, and then formally reinstated by the agency in 2020 after decades of grassroots advocacy from designers and aerospace enthusiasts. Its comeback coincided with the Artemis program's early development, which gave the Treasury a timely hook for this commemorative authorization under the NASA Commemorative Coin Act of 2020.
The enabling legislation mandated that surcharges from sales fund the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.
