LYNDON B. The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, originally known as the Manned Spacecraft Center, is one of nine National Aeronautics and Space Administration field installations and home base for the nation's astronauts.
The origins of the center are to be found in the national commitment to a broad program of space exploration, including manned space flight, which the United States made in response to the Soviet Union's successful space launches, begun in 1957.
Winged space shuttles, like airplanes, could reenter from space and land on runways instead of hitting the ocean and could serve not only as launch vehicles, but as science laboratories, earth-observation outposts, and repair and retrieval stations for satellites.
