What is the name of the center where all operations of the orbiter are coordinated during the mission?
Mission Control, located at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Who drives the International Space Station?
Physics and Mission Control.
Why do scientists use full scale mockups of space vehicles and the International Space Station before a real mission?
To make sure it can go the distance and back
How big is the Mission Control Center at NASA?
NASA actually has several Mission Control Centers, though the main MCC, and the one most people are familiar with, is the Manned Flight Center (MCC-H) at Johnson Space Center in Houston, which directs all Manned Flight activities (e.g., Shuttle, International Space Station, etc.) Up until the mission clock starts advancing, Kennedy Space Center Launch Control is in charge of the mission; after the countdown ends and the mission begins, control switches to MCC at JSC. Since MCC-H is in a hurricane sensitive zone, there are backup MCC facilities at Kennedy Space Center at MCC in Moscow for ISS operations. There are actually several Flight Control rooms in the MCC building - each is manned by a dozen up to 20 controllers.
What is the command center of the space shuttle called?
Mission control. Before launch it is controlled from Kennedy Space Center, but from the time it clears the launch tower it is controlled from Houston.

What space vehicles were used in hubble telescope mission'?
Space Shuttles Discovery and Atlantis were most often used for HST Servicing Missions, due to their larger cargo bays.
How do you prepare your health for a space mission?
need lots of concentration and meditation, complete control on mind
Where is the US space control center?
It depends on the mission. All launch vehicles are controlled by their individual launch facilities until the mission clock starts, which is at the end of the "countdown". The countdown is a negative clock count to zero; once the vehicle launches, the mission clock starts into a positive clock count. At the point the vehicle reaches space, the mission control center takes over. For the shuttle program, Mission Control is in Houston at the Johnson Space Center. The Hubble Telescope, one of my old programs, is controlled from the Space Telescope Science Institute at Johns Hopkins University. Deep Space missions, such as the Mars probes, Cassini and Galileo are controlled from the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, CA. JPL also controls the furthest craft from Earth, the Voyager probe launched in the early 70's and now headed out of the solar system. Some satellites are controlled from other non-NASA stations, such as military satellites and commercial satellites.
What are space vehicles?
Space vehicles are ones that travel in outer space. These vehicles help record scientific data and send it to Earth.
