Historical move of MCC With the threat of Hurricane Lili, Mission Control Center employees worked around the clock on Oct. 1 and 2 to transfer control of the U.S. segment of the ISS to a NASA team stationed in Russia, and then to entirely power down the MCC. It was the first time such a transfer of control had occurred. Control of the U.S. segment returned to MCC Houston on the evening of Oct. 3. World Space Congress World Space Congress, a gathering of space experts, agencies and companies, was held in Houston Oct. 9 - 19. JSC's involvement in this once-per-decade event was extensive and included exhibits in the NASA Village and the coordination of Discover NASA Day, an event for Houston-area kids. STS-112 The STS-112 crew installed and activated the S1 Truss and performed three spacewalks during the mission. The launch of STS-112 was seen in a new way: it was the first time that a camera was mounted on the shuttle's External Tank.

Howell becomes JSC's Ninth Director Lt. Gen. Jefferson D. Howell, Jr. took over the reigns as Director of JSC. Howell had previously been the Senior Vice President and Program Manager for the Safety, Reliability and Quality Assurance contract at JSC and had been employed by Science Applications International Corporation.

Photography breakthrough NASA announced that astronaut photography of the Earth from the ISS had achieved a level of detail that allows scientists to use the photographs to study changes occurring in ver y small features on the Earth's surface. The results of the study were discussed in an article featured in the American Geophysical Union journal Eos Transactions.

The NASA vision is:
To improve life here, To extend life to there, To find life beyond

STS-111 STS-111 delivered the Expedition 5 crew to the station, delivered and installed the Mobile Base System and returned the Expedition 4 crew to Earth. The astronauts also replaced a wrist roll joint on the station's robotic arm, Canadarm2. Expedition 4 crew returns The Expedition 4 crew, consisting of Commander Yury Onufrienko, Flight Engineer Dan Bursch and Flight Engineer Carl Walz, returned to Earth. During the crew's 196 days in space, Bursch and Walz broke the U.S. spaceflight endurance record. Astronaut Shannon Lucid held the previous record of 188 days.
