副總統詹森奉命統整美國衛星計畫:1961624

在副總統詹森的領導下,國家太空委員會 (National Space Council) 建議美國太空總署 (National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationNASA) 要與所有和太空飛行有關之政府部門共同提出統合的政策協調計畫。美國太空總署在詹森副總統的家鄉,德州休士頓 (Houston) 設立了指揮與管制中心:載人太空船中心 (Manned Spacecraft Center) ,現在稱為詹森太空中心 (Johnson Space Center) 。

美國的太空計畫有兩個主要的目標:第一,發展繞行地球的無人駕駛衛星系統,以提供電信服務;第二,發展載人與無人的太空探險任務。美國太空總署一直努力要完成兩項目標,因而也讓美國真正走向太空時代。


Under Vice President Johnson, the National Space Council recommended that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provide policy coordination with all government agencies involved in space flight. NASA established its command and control center, the Manned Spacecraft Center (now known as the Johnson Space Center), in Houston, in Johnson's home state of Texas.

The U.S. space program had two main goals: one, develop a system of unmanned satellites that would orbit the earth and provide global telecommunications; and two, pursue manned and unmanned space exploration. Working toward both goals, NASA truly launched the U.S. into the space age.
