Nominal prime and support functions of the Hermes flight control center (HFCC) are analyzed in the context of the crew/ground sharing of responsibility for a typical Hermes mission servicing the Columbus MTFF. The support provided by the HFCC includes navigation, medical support, spaceplane monitoring, fault diagnosis, operations replanning, and software uploading. The relationship between the HFCC and the ESA in-orbit infrastructure central mission control center is discussed. Functional requirements of the HFCC concerning real time data control, flight support, and simulation and testing are treated.
