NASA Images & Astronauts

Many NASA images in the public domain can be used for merchandising purposes.

However, there are rules regarding the appearance of NASA employees' faces or names on commercial products. NASA employees, including astronauts, who are currently employed by NASA cannot have their faces or names displayed on any commercial products, advertisements or commercial product packaging. NASA employees who are retired from the Agency can grant permission for the use of their faces or names, but that permission may be subject to a fee. For deceased employees, their families must grant permission for use of their photos or names.
