Johnson space center to reopen next week: NASA
Washington (AFP) Sept 18, 2008 The Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, which was shut down as Hurricane Ike barreled toward the US Gulf Coast, will reopen next week, US space officials said Thursday. Officials in a statement set a September 22 date for reopening the space center, which controls many systems aboard the orbiting International Space Station (ISS). Space officials said the center emerged unscathed from the killer hurricane, which exacted billions of dollars of damage around the region. The space center shut down on September 11, as the monster storm steamed toward the US mainland. Johnson Space Center officials temporarily handed over control of the ISS to backup facilities elsewhere in Texas and in Alabama. The hurricane killed more than 100 people in the Caribbean, then killed more than 17 across nine US states after making landfall in southeastern Texas.
