Marshall Space Flight Center
• The George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is the U.S. government's civilian rocketry and
spacecraft propulsion research center. The largest center of NASA, MSFC's first mission was developing the
Saturn launch vehicles for the Apollo moon program. Marshall is today the agency's lead center for Space
Shuttle propulsion and its external tank; payloads and related crew training; International Space Station
(ISS) design and assembly; and computers, networks, and information management. Located on the
Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, Alabama, MSFC is named in honor of General of the Army George
Marshall.
• The center also contains the Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC), a facility that supports Space
Shuttle launch, payload and experiment activities at the Kennedy Space Center, ISS launch and experiment
operations. The HOSC also monitors rocket launches from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station when a
Marshall Center payload is on board.
