ISS Operations

The Payload Operations Integration Center at the Huntsville (Alabama) Operations Support Center (HOSC).

 

Payloads are the science experiments conducted on the International Space Station (ISS) and this center, operated by NASA, directs all of the activities of the astronauts onboard with regard to the experiments and coordinates with scientists on earth.

 

Actual ISS operations are directed by Mission Control in Houston.

 

The flags in the light fixtures represent the countries taking part in the ISS.
