The new ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Mission Control Center (MCC-A) inside ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏ꿉۪s Houston headquarters will serve as the heartbeat of future space operations, including the upcoming Ax-1 mission, the first-ever all-private astronaut mission to the orbiting laboratory. Â
ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏ꿉۪s ops teams celebrated a major milestone when MCC-A recently conducted its first-ever on-orbit operation on the International Space Station, successfully supporting the SQuARES payload’s scientific research. Â
The MCC-A is now registered and validated as a payload operations site, and actively receiving voice and video from NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. This new capability enables ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø to connect, engage, and communicate via voice and video to support ISS payload operations. Â
This historic accomplishment, an ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø mission control center supporting on-orbit payload operations, is a significant milestone to ensure mission success ahead of Ax-1 and all ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø on-orbit operations that will follow on the road to a thriving low-Earth orbit economy. Â
