Since 1965, the Mission Control Center has been the nerve center for America's
manned space program. The men and women who work in Building 30 at the
Johnson Space Center have been vital to the success of every manned space flight since Gemini 4. These teams of experienced engineers and technicians
monitor systems and activities aboard spacecraft 24 hours a day during
missions, using some of the most sophisticated communication, computer, data reduction, and data
display equipment available and provide the expertise needed to deal with the unexpected.
- Mission Control Center Consoles
- Each console in the Flight Control Room is the base of operations for a flight control team. Each has a "call sign," the name the controller uses when talking to other controllers over the various telephone communication circuits. A clickable image shows you where each of the consoles is located in Mission Control and lists the call signs and responsibilities of each position.
