What state is in charge of the mission once the shuttle is in space?

None. The Space Shuttle was (past tense) the property of NASA, a federal government agency. Before lift off, the shuttle was controlled by NASA at the Kenedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida, just outside of Titusville. After the Shuttle cleared the tower, control was transferred to the Johnson Space Center, in Huston, Texas. Individual states had nothing to do with the space shuttle's command and control. Both space centers are the property of the federal government, and not subject to state laws; just like domestic military bases.
