There are two Flight Control Rooms (FCR), commonly called Mission Control, at JSC. One on the second floor of building 30, and a backup on the third floor. The third floor FCR has always been used for classified DOD flights. There are also limited flight control facilities at White Sands, NM that could be used in an emergency. Goddard controls only unmanned spacecraft. --GaryM -- Gary Morris Internet: lobster!lescsse!gamorris@menudo.uh.edu Lockheed (LESC), A22 UUCP: lobster!lescsse!gamorris Space Station Freedom NASAmail: gmorris/jsc/nasa Houston, Texas Internet: gmorris@nasamail.nasa.gov Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
