NASA's (National Aeronautics and Space Administration's) Space Shuttle Program (SSP) has been retired following the end of the last space shuttle mission, STS-135 (Space Transportation System 135), which landed in the pre-dawn darkness hours of Thursday, July 21, 2011 (coincidentally, the day after the 42nd anniversary of the first Moon landing) at the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) (runway) at the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. All ten NASA centers played some kind of a role and provided support for every space shuttle mission and for the operations of the Space Shuttle Program as a whole, however the Space Shuttle Program office was located at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Space Center (JSC) at Houston, TX.
