Try an article written by people who speak English really well.

It looks like, since NASA has huge amounts of information, much of which they would like to be more easily available to the public, they want to team up with a company which has lots of experience searching through vast amounts of information in sophisticated and usable ways. And Google wants to expand and diversify their sources of income, so they're happy to join in.
