Houston Mission Control

Houston Mission Control is the command center responsible for coordinating and monitoring NASA's space missions, including crewed spacecraft like the International Space Station and past lunar missions. Located at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, it serves as the central hub for communication, navigation, and problem-solving between astronauts in space and mission teams on Earth. The team uses advanced technology to track spacecraft, analyze data, and make critical decisions to ensure safety and mission success. Essentially, Houston Mission Control acts as the mission’s nerve center, guiding and supporting space operations from launch to return.
