Johnson Space Center

Flight Operations Directorate

The Flight Operations Directorate (FOD) at NASA’s Johnson Space Center touches every program and part of sending humans to space. The people who serve this program work to train astronauts in a variety of facilities on land in spacecraft mockups, under water in NASA’s enormous Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL), and in the air in T-38 jet aircraft.

Whether it’s involved in a space station mission, or a mission to the moon, this team holds itself to the highest standard. Vigilance, competence, and teamwork are just a few of the words used each day within the Flight Operations Directorate as the team carries out its duties in the pursuit of exploration in human spaceflight.  Click here to learn about the foundations of the Flight Operations Directorate.
