	Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NASA's center in Houston has its origins in legislation shepherded to enactment in 1958 by then-U.S. Senator Lyndon Baines Johnson, who was from Texas.
		JSC, then called simply the "Manned Spacecraft Center," was opened in 1961 and subsequently renamed the "Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center" in 1973, the year Johnson died.
		In addition to housing NASA's astronaut operations, JSC is also the site of the Lunar Receiving Laboratory, where the first astronauts returning from the moon were quarantined, and where samples of lunar soil and rock are stored.

		The space radiation environment primarily consists of high-energy electrons, protons, and heavy ions from solar wind and galactic cosmic rays, and high-energy particles trapped in the Van Allen Belts by the Earth’s geomagnetic field.
		Operational research takes place during space flight missions, while ground-based research is performed in (1) laboratory settings, (2) underwater-thus attaining neutral buoyancy in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, and (3) on board NASA’s KC 135 aircraft, where short duration zero gravity is achieved by flying parabolic maneuvers.
		Human space explorers undergo a variety of physiologic adaptations to the microgravity environment to which they are subjected during space flight.

		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.
		NASA was formed to be the focus of the nation's efforts in the space age.
		NASA began to reorganize and increase its space establishments to carry to completion Project Mercury, to carry out Project Gemini (which had the mission of perfecting rendezvous and docking techniques essential to NASA's plans for lunar landing and return), and to carry out Project Apollo, the moonflight program itself.

		These facilities also will be used to understand and mitigate the biological effects of space radiation on astronauts, to ensure proper calibration of the doses received by astronauts on the International Space Station, and to develop advanced material concepts for improved radiation shielding for future exploration missions to Mars.
		The primary radiation sources in outer space are the galactic cosmic rays (GCR), protons and electrons trapped in the Earthâs magnetic field, and the solar particle events (SPE).

		The uniting theme for the Johnson Space Center (JSC) Team is astrobiology-related sample and material analysis to provide characterization data on terrestrial samples, astromaterials, and experimental samples.
		In addition, the Johnson Space Center Team seeks to understand the processes that create the characteristics of life, the processes that alter or fossilize life, and the processes that produce and preserve interaction between life forms and rocks or minerals.
		Consequently, a major goal of the Johnson Space Center Team is to develop better techniques for detecting and understanding life, as this capability will be required for future sample-return missions to Mars.

		This aircraft, under contract to NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, was used as a test bed to to provide data of the design of a lightweight lightning detection and photographic system that was later flown on the NASA Space Shuttles STS-2, STS-4, and STS-6.
		The TV cameras would be operated by the Instrumentation and Communication Operations (INCO'S) personnel located in the Mission Control Center on the ground rather that have the crew to conduct the TV cameras to observe lightning storms that maybe near the limb of the earth.
		Since the location of the Shuttle is known from it's orbit and due to the low light level sensitivity of the payload bay TV cameras, the star fields and the airglow of the earth can be observed and it is possible to determine the size of the lightning flashes as they are seen.
