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.

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:
