History
Johnson
Space Center was established in 1961 as the Manned Spacecraft Center.
In 1973, the Center was renamed in honor of the late President and
Texas native, Lyndon B. Johnson. From the early Gemini, Apollo and
Skylab projects to today's Space Shuttle and International Space
Station Programs, the Center continues to lead NASA's efforts in
human space exploration.
