Time at Mission Control - That was my guess and looked it up.
NASA uses Mission control - Houston; Central Time - It's easier on the ground crew.

Houston baby Houston, in the central time zone, although to be factual it should have been "Clear Lake we have a problem" Because the Johnson Space Center is closer to Clear Lake, Texas than Houston. When they built that center back in the 60s I suppose they were calling it Houston because it's in the Houston area and nobody ever heard of Clear Lake.

On the space shuttle, they use Mission Elapsed Time . This makes it easier to plan missions given the fluidic nature of launches. For example, if a task has to be done at 2 hours after liftoff, then the mission schedule remains the same irrespective of what time/day the shuttle lifts off.
On the international space station, they use GMT.

Greenwich Meantime is used in space. As spacecraft are constantly moving, the space agency's agreed on a certain time to follow. This time is also known as Zulu.

Zulu time is used as a fixed time, this avoids time zone problems.
