Nasalization, by Ray Larabie of Typodermic Fonts, is the wide sci-fi font people mean by the NASA font, drawn after the worm logo. dafont lists it as free for personal use, and Typodermic’s licence does not cover passing the font file on, so it comes from its author, not from us. Free for posters, invites and your edits; to sell what you make with it, buy its author’s licence.

Bungee has the wide, heavy capitals of the worm, with squared shapes and softened corners, though its A has a crossbar where the logo’s A has none. Use it for anything, even things you sell.

What the font has, before you download it.
Open the file in a font app from the App Store and install it. Then pick it in Pages, Keynote or Procreate.
Unzip the file, right-click the .ttf and choose Install. It shows up in Word, Photoshop and Cricut Design Space.
Unzip the file, double-click the .ttf and press Install.
In Brand Kit, choose Upload a font and pick the .ttf. Uploading fonts needs Canva Pro.
Install the font on your computer first, then restart Design Space: it is under System fonts.

The red NASA “worm” is a logotype, not a font: Google’s answer says Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn drew it in 1975. The font people name for it, Nasalization, is not an official NASA typeface; Ray Larabie of Typodermic Fonts made it after the worm, and you will find it on dafont and Adobe Fonts.
The sources do not quite agree on its licence. dafont labels Nasalization free for personal use, while Typodermic’s own page offers it for desktop use, paid work included, but not for passing the font file on. So we leave it with its author. Bungee, by David Jonathan Ross, is given instead: its SIL Open Font License lets anyone use it, and its capitals are just as wide and heavy.
The worm spells NASA in four smooth, rounded capitals, and its two A’s have no crossbar. It is NASA red on white, with no outline and no shadow. NASA has a second mark, the round blue “meatball” badge, which has lettering of its own; this page draws the worm.
On the Logo background, Solid sets your words in NASA red on white, in capitals only, as the worm is drawn. Outline and Glow suit a dark, starry ground of your own, while Clear drops the white and keeps only the red letters for a photo of the night sky.

No. Google’s answer says Nasalization is not an official NASA typeface. Ray Larabie of Typodermic Fonts made it after NASA’s worm logo.
The NASA Web Design System’s typography page says it does: Helvetica has been used extensively at NASA for decades, from the space shuttle to signs and printouts.
Yes, in the form of Bungee: its SIL Open Font License lets you set it in anything you make, for free. Nasalization is different: dafont labels it free for personal use and Typodermic’s licence covers desktop use but not passing the file on, so get it from its author.
People who search for the NASA font also look up Orbitron and Michroma, two sci-fi fonts on Google Fonts. Bungee is on Google Fonts too, with wide, squared capitals, and it is the one this page gives.
Words you set in Bungee may go on anything you sell. The NASA name and the worm logo stay NASA’s, so sell your own mission names, not NASA’s mark.
