The Center also is responsible for leadership in the field of astromaterials. JSC is the Center of Excellence for Human Operations in Space. This means that JSC provides national leadership and technological preeminence in those capabilities and technologies that support human operations in space. Principal areas include: Human spacecraft and habitat design and development; human space life sciences; flight crew operations; mission operations and training; planetary surface systems for human operations; and astromaterials collections, curation, and analysis. JSC is the lead Center for the Space Shuttle Program, International Space Station Program, Space Operations, Biomedical Research and Countermeasures Program, and the Advanced Human Support Technology Program. Agencywide assignments include Extravehicular Activity (EVA), Robotics Technology Associated with Human Activities, Space Medicine, Technology Utilization on the International Space Station, and Exploration Mission Planning and Design.
