FCR 1 .282006-present.29 Christopher C. Kraft Jr. Mission Control Center



fcr 1 in 2009 during sts-128 mission.


all international space station operations controlled fcr 1, remodeled in 2006. fcr abandoned traditional tiered floor layout, rows instead @ same level. few engineering specialists in center of front row, public affairs commentator @ right end behind low partition. space station trajectory position moved third row.


during iss operations, scheme known gemini used, reduced staffing real-time iss support consolidating 6 system disciplines 2 positions. these 2 super-consoles , named atlas , titan, 2 people can work of 8 other flight controllers during low-activity periods. 1 position, call sign titan (telemetry, information transfer, , attitude navigation), responsible communication & tracking (cato), command & data handling (odin), , motion control systems (adco). other position, call sign atlas (atmosphere, thermal, lighting , articulation specialist), responsible thermal control (thor), environmental control & life support (eclss), , electrical power systems (phalcon). atlas responsible monitoring robotics (robo) , mechanical systems (oso) heaters, consoles not supported during majority of gemini shifts. while gemini officially reflected fact 2 controllers act twins during operations, name homage first missions (project gemini) controlled room. in addition, titan type of booster rocket launched gemini spacecraft , atlas boosters launched gemini-era agena target vehicles (and several missions in project mercury).


in 2010 after iss assembly complete, gemini concept removed , 6 core disciplines reduced four. console positions ethos (environmental , thermal operating systems) consists of eclss system internal thermal control system formerly held thor; spartan (station power, articulation, thermal, , analysis) consists of electrical power , external thermal control systems; cronus (communications rf onboard networks utilization specialist), combination of previous odin , cato positions; , adco (motion control systems).
