Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center

The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC), founded in 1961 as the Manned Spacecraft Center and renamed in 1972, is a United States government facility in Houston, Texas, operated by NASA. It focuses on human spaceflight, including astronaut training, spacecraft development, and mission operations for programs like Apollo, Space Shuttle, and International Space Station. Notable achievements include serving as Mission Control for Apollo 11 moon landing and ongoing Artemis program support. In UAP/UFO context, no direct research programs are documented at JSC; NASA historically declined UFO studies, as seen in 1968 Condon Report recommendations. Indirect links exist via President Johnson's reported secret late-1960s UAP study involving NASA-affiliated experts like Kelly Johnson, though not conducted at JSC. Current status: Active NASA field center advancing lunar and Mars exploration.
