NASA’s Johnson Space Center has served as a hub of human spaceflight activity for more than half a century. It is home to the nation’s astronaut corps, the International Space Station mission operations, the Orion Program, and a host of future space developments. The center plays a pivotal role in  enhancing scientific and technological knowledge to benefit all of human kind.

Our space and science exploration learning center has more than 400 things to see and do. We have the largest collections of spacesuits and Moon rocks on public display in the world.

Space Center Houston is the premier authentic and immersive learning center for science and space exploration. We provide the public a chance to be a part of NASA’s mission.]

We believe STEM education drives curiosity and achievement and should be available to all. Help us make space accessible to everyone by supporting our mission.
