During a Shuttle launch, the mission is controlled by Kennedy Space Center until the end of the Launch Clock countdown; after the launch, the mission is handed over to Mission Control in Houston.JSC's MCC is responsible for monitoring and controlling the International Space Station operations.

Who operates the Kennedy Space Center?
Though NASA retains ownership of Kennedy Space Center, the contract for base operations is currently retained by Lockheed Space Operations, in Titusville, Florida. The contract was awarded in 1992 and scheduled to run until 2012, and is worth $1.9 Billion dollars over that period. Though LSO is the prime contractor, there are many other subcontractor personnel from other contractors that LSO subcontracts to for individual operations, such as launch preparation, payload preparation, vehicle transport, Astronaut support, etc. It has always been private contractors who are responsible for NASA Center operations; for example, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA's Lead Center for mission direction of unmanned and robotic space probes, is managed and staffed by personnel from the California Institute of Technology (CalTech). Many people mistakenly believe that JPL is a part of CalTech, which of course it isn't.
