Johnson Space Center leads NASA's human spaceflight-related scientific and medical research programs. Technologies developed for spaceflight are now in use in many areas of [[medicine]], [[energy]], [[transportation]], [[agriculture]], [[communications]], and [[electronics]].<ref>{{cite report |url=http://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/pdf/167745main_FS_JSC508c.pdf |title=Johnson Space Center: Exploring the science of space for the future of Earth |author=NASA |access-date=2008-08-27 |publisher=[[NASA]] |archive-date=April 10, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200410160215/https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/pdf/167745main_FS_JSC508c.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The [[Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Directorate|Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) office]] performs the [[physical science]] research at the center. ARES directs and manages all functions and activities of the ARES scientists who perform [[basic research]] in [[earth sciences|earth]], [[planetary sciences|planetary]], and [[space sciences]]. ARES scientists and engineers provide support to the [[human spaceflight|human]] and [[robotic spacecraft|robotic spaceflight]] programs. The responsibilities of ARES also include interaction with the [[Office of Safety and Mission Assurance]] and the [[Flight controller#Current and former NASA human space flight programs|Human Space Flight Programs]].<ref>{{Cite web | title = Astromaterials Research Office | work = Johnson Space Center | access-date = 2009-10-18 | url = http://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/kr.cfm | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091010160225/http://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/kr.cfm | archive-date = October 10, 2009 | df = mdy-all }}</ref>

Johnson Space Center was granted a five-year, $120-million extension of its agreement with the [[National Space Biomedical Research Institute]] at [[Baylor College of Medicine]] to study the health risks related to long-duration space flight. The extension will allow a continuation of [[biomedical research]] in support of a long-term human presence in space started by the institute and NASA's [[Human Research Program]] through 2012.<ref>{{Cite news
