NASA has several flight centers across the United States, with the most notable being the Armstrong Flight Research Center located in Edwards, California. Another key facility is the Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. These centers focus on aeronautics research, flight testing, and technology development for NASA's missions.
NASA's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center is located in Huntsville, Alabama. It is NASA's Center of Excellence for research in civilian rocketry and spacecraft propulsion.
Houston
NASA has ten major centers across the United States that support its space flight and research missions. Among these, the most prominent are the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Johnson Space Center in Texas, and the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. Each center has specific roles, such as vehicle launch, astronaut training, and research and development. Additionally, NASA operates various field centers and facilities that contribute to its overall mission.
All major NASA space vehicle launches involving Manned Flight operations are executed at the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, FLorida.
NASA's Johnson Space Center (named for President Lyndon B. Johnson, who was also Senator from Texas and instrumental in getting it built there) is NASA's center in Houston for manned flight missions/control, and astronaut training.

NASA is not building a plant in Enterprise, Alabama. NASA's major facilities are located in places like Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Johnson Space Center in Texas, and Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama, but Enterprise is not a location where NASA is building a plant.
Huntsville Alabama is the home of Redstone Arsenal (the US Army missile and rocket center), NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, and the US Space and Rocket Center.
There are 14 NASA centers. The three primary centers associated with manned space flight are Johnson Space Center near Houston, Texas, responsible for the making the spacecrafts (Apollo, Shuttle, etc.) and the astronauts (selecting, training, assigning to missions), Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, responsible for making the launching rockets, Saturn V, etc. and Kennedy Space Center in Florida, responsible for the launch facilities and launching the missions.
The Hubble Space Telescope was built at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. It was then transported to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida for launch into orbit.
NASA has several test ranges and launch sites located across the United States, including the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, and the Armstrong Flight Research Center in California. NASA also utilizes other facilities such as the White Sands Test Facility in New Mexico and the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi for specific testing and launch requirements.
