JSC(Johnson Space Center) Tour ジョンソン宇宙センタ・ツアー

HOME > Astronomy > JSCtour

The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Manned Spacecraft Center,
where human spaceflight training, research, and flight control are conducted.
It was built and leased to NASA by Joseph L. Smith & Associates, Inc.
It was renamed in honor of the late U.S. president and Texas native, Lyndon B. Johnson, by an act of the United States Senate on February 19, 1973.
It consists of a complex of one hundred buildings constructed on 1,620 acres (660 hectares) in the Clear Lake Area of Houston,
which acquired the official nickname "Space City" in 1967.
The center is home to NASA's astronaut corps, and is responsible for training astronauts from both the U.S. and its international partners.
It has become popularly known for its flight control function, identified as "Mission Control" during the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo–Soyuz,
and Space Shuttle program flights.
Photos below were taken on Sep. 2007.

3.MCC(Mission Control Center) Room

NASA's Christopher C. Kraft Jr. Mission Control Center, also known by its radio callsign, Houston, is the facility at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center
in Houston, Texas that manages flight control for America's human space program, currently involving astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
The center is in Building 30 at the Johnson Space Center which is named after Christopher C. Kraft Jr.
The MCC houses one operational control room in Building 30 from which flight controllers command, monitor, and plan operations for the ISS.
This room has many computer and data-processing resources to monitor, command and communicate with the station.
The ISS control room operates continuously.

4.SVMF(Space Vehicle Mockup Facility) Room

The Space Vehicle Mockup Facility (SVMF) is a large open space area located inside Building 9 of Johnson Space Center in Houston.
It consists of a long 200 meter long chamber that houses several Space Shuttle mockups, as well as mockups of every major pressurized module on the International Space Station.
It is primarily used for astronaut training and systems familiarization.
The International Space Station modules are 1:1 scale and are maintained as accurate as possible to the real spacecraft in orbit.
The facility also has a 1/6th gravity simulator and Mars Rover test vehicles.
An industrial door at the North End, and overhead cranes allows the installation of new mockup spacecraft to be loaded into the facility.
Space Center Houston allows a level 9 VIP tourist access to the entire training facility.

	5-1. LES on Tip of Saturn V Block 2 Command Module 115A and Service Module 115 are on display at the tip of the Saturn V in the Rocket Park at Space Center Houston. The Launch Escape System was a top-mounted rocket connected to the crew compartment of the Saturn V, which could be used to quickly separate and launch the crew compartment away from the rest of the rocket in case of an emergency. Since the escape rockets were above the crew compartment, an LES used separate nozzles, which were angled away from the crew compartment to prevent the LES exhaust from striking the compartment, cutting through the hull, and injuring the crew. The LES is designed for use in situations where there is an imminent threat to the crew.	5-1. 打上げ緊急退避システムLES 司令船115Aと機械船115は、ジョンソン宇宙センタ内宇宙史博物館にあるサターンV型ロケットの先端に展示されている。打上げ緊急退避システムLESが、その右側に装備されている。

	5-4. S-IC This photo shows S-IC which was the first stage of the Saturn V rocket. Most of its mass, over two thousand metric tons at launch, was propellant. The S-IC burned more than 30,000 pounds of propellant per second in its five engines to boost the Saturn V 57 miles downrange to an altitude of 41 miles in about 2-1/2 minutes. Of the five F-1 engines, one was fixed in the center, while the four on the outer ring could be hydraulically turned to control the rocket.	5-4．S-IC この写真は、サターンVロケットの第一段ロケットS-IC を示す。

A cluster of five engines like these provided the power for the first stage of the Saturn V launch vehicle during the Apollo-Saturn test flights, manned flights to the Moon, and the launch of the Skylab orbiting laboratory into Earth orbit. The engines were powered for 2-1/2 minutes lifting the Saturn V to an altitude of about 41 miles and a speed of about 6,000 miles per hour. Each engine weighed 15,650 pounds and developed a thrust of 1,500,000 pounds.	5-6．F-1 エンジンの噴射ノズルの拡大この写真は、サターンVロケットのF-1 エンジンの噴射ノズルの拡大。

The S-IV B of the Saturn V consisted of the aft interstage, an aft skirt, a thrust structure to which the single J-2 engine was attached, a LOX tank an LH2 tank, and a forward skirt. The single J-2 engine would develop 200,000 pounds of thrust and was capable of being shut down in space, and then reignited. Hydraulic actuators gimbaled the engine to provide pitch and yaw control during powered flight. Two self-contained auxiliary propulsion system modules, mounted 180 degrees apart on the aft skirt, would provide roll control during powered flight, and pitch, yaw, and roll control while the J-2 engine was shut down. For lunar missions it was used twice: first for the orbit insertion after second-stage cutoff, and then for the trans-lunar injection.	5-7．中段ロケットS-IV B この写真は、サターンVロケットの中段ロケットS-IV B を示す。
