From the Johnson Space Center
Focus: the International Space Station
Johnson Space Center is the center for manned spaceflight and headquarters
for the International Space Station Program. As home of America's astronauts,
JSC is responsible for training the astronauts and flight control teams
that support manned missions.
Join us at the Johnson Space Center for a series of chats with the Space
Team Online team of experts involved with the International Space Station.
Additionally, you are invited to the monthly live tours of the International
Space Station mockup and training facility. You will be taken inside the
Living Quarters where Astronauts will spend their work, play, rest and
recreation time aboard the ISS. Besides being the most advanced laboratory
for research and science, the International Space Station will be a launching
point to destinations across the solar system. To learn more about the
Mockup and Training Facility for NASA's ISS Astronaut Program visit their
