JSC’s mission statement is to Lead Human Space Exploration.

This is accomplished by focusing on four priorities:

• Maximize use of the space station;

• Enable the success of the Commercial Crew Program;

• Develop Orion for future missions; and

• Build the foundation for human missions to Mars, as we extend human exploration to the stars. 

The FY21 Center budget was $2.75 billion.
