The Mission Control Center (MCC) is the facility that provides centralization of all mission operations in support of the shuttle from liftoff through landing. This facility serves as the focal point for real time flight control operations supporting the shuttle, spacelab, and selected payload systems. MCC upgrade accomplishments are as follows: replaced 5 mainframe computers and the associated input/output data interfaces; developed and installed a distributed data system with 81 workstations, 5 LANs, data drivers, and a fiber optic distribution subsystem; developed over 1.5 million lines of code to support new distributed system; developed new digital voice system which provides the MCC capacity to handle th Shuttle programs demands and growth potential to handle Space Station; replaced failing digital TV equipment with digital generation equipment; replaced obsolete center screen projector; and provided the platform for the multiprogram control center.
