The Mercury Control Center (the phrase "Mission Control" dates from the
Gemini program) was much simpler compared to the later control rooms in Houston. A photograph can be found he http://history.nasa.gov/SP-4001/images/fig28.jpg For an annotated floor plan, see page 2-25 (page 64 of the PDF file) of "Introduction to Project Mercury and Site Handbook" available he http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/s...ckingSites.pdf Also, take a look at the layout for the Bahamas Tracking Station, as it was designated as a backup control center in the event the MCC lost functionality during a flight. Many many many more valuable documents are available as PDF's on this site: http://www.geocities.com/bobandrepont/spacepdf.htm When the Mercury Control Center was developed, keep in mind that communications switching and computer services were handled at Goddard SFC. Also, much of the air to ground communication was handled by the staff at the individual remote sites with the information being sent by telephone or teletype back to the MCC. In later programs, the remote sites were gradually made more automated and all communication and control grew to reside with Houston. --Dave-- "Tater Schuld" wrote in message om... anyone know what the layout was for seating in mission control for the mercury project?
