About the HOSC:

Also known as Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC) or Payload Operations Center, it is a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) facility that works in conjunction with the International Space Station and Space Shuttle Control Centers in Houston, Texas. The Payload Operations Center at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, is the headquarters for International Space Station science operations. This Control Center links Earth-bound researchers and developers from around the world with their experiments and astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
Here is a list of every day tasks for this center during the life of the International Space Station:

  • Integrates research requirements
  • Plans science missions
  • Ensures the safe execution of science
  • Integrates the crew and ground team training and research mission timelines
  • Manages use of space station payload resources
  • Handles science communications with the crew
  • Manages commanding and data transmissions to and from the orbiting research center.

The Operations Center is staffed around the clock by three shifts of flight controllers.

We look forward to seeing you all there!  🙂
