NASA's Johnson Space Center joins growing list of tours for upcoming Secured Cities conference
Secured Cities will be held in Houston, Texas, Nov. 15 – 17, and is the only government security and communications event that features on-site and behind the scenes public safety tours. The third tour we are excited to announce is of NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
For more than 50 years, NASA’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston has led our nation and the world on a continuing adventure of human exploration, discovery and achievement. The center has played a vital role in powering our country into the 21st century through technological innovations and scientific discoveries.
The dedicated professionals who work at JSC have made advances in science, technology, engineering and medicine that enable us to explore our world and universe as never before, and to derive unparalleled benefits from that exploration.
The Johnson Space Center was established in 1961 as the Manned Spaceflight Center, the home and Mission Control Center for the U.S. human space flight program. In 1973, it was renamed in honor of the late President, and Texas native, Lyndon B. Johnson.
The Johnson Center’s $1.5 billion complex occupies 1,620 acres southeast of downtown Houston, in the Clear Lake area.
In its early days, the center led the Gemini, Apollo, and Skylab projects. JSC presently serves as the home of mission control, NASA’s lead for International Space Station operations and missions, home to the Orion Multi-purpose crew vehicle, and numerous advanced human exploration projects. The center also plays an important role in NASA’s Commercial Crew programs.
One more tour will be announced in the coming weeks. The tours are complimentary when you register for the Secured Cities conference.
