Mission Control (NASA)

Mission Control at NASA is the operations center responsible for planning, monitoring, and managing space missions. Located at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, it oversees missions by coordinating various teams of engineers, scientists, and flight controllers. They ensure that spacecraft are launched safely, track their progress, and handle any issues that arise during flight. Mission Control plays a critical role in maintaining communication between astronauts and the ground, ensuring successful completion of missions, whether they're launching satellites, conducting experiments on the International Space Station, or sending rovers to explore other planets.
