NASA/Boeing Orbital Test Flight Simulation

NASA, Boeing and United Launch Alliance (ULA) conduct a simulation of launch procedures for Boeing’s Orbital Test Flight, the first uncrewed test of the company’s CST-100 Starliner and a ULA Atlas V rocket. Launch teams participated in the simulation across the country, including inside the Launch Vehicle Data Center at Hangar AE at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The Starliner will launch on an Atlas V rocket to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

At the dedication of the upgraded Launch Vehicle Data Center in Hangar AE, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., attendees got a close look at the new consoles. Seated on the right is Steve Francois, program manager, Expendable Vehicles and Payload Carriers. The new facility’s three individual control rooms replace a single LVDC control room in use since the mid-1970s. Developed by NASA-KSC to support multiple test operations in parallel or a single large launch operation, the new LVDC allows up to 100 launch vehicle engineers to monitor the voice, data and video systems that support the checkout and launch of an expendable vehicle

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In the Launch Vehicle Data Center- 1 in Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Hangar AE, (from right) JJ Joyner, Jonathan Cruz and Stuart Cooke take part in a countdown simulation for the upcoming Ares I-X flight test. The LVDC was developed by NASA's Kennedy Space Center to support multiple test operations in parallel or a single large launch operation. The LVDC works in tandem with the adjacent Mission Director Center, the control room where NASA launch managers monitor expendable vehicle launches, and where the final decision to launch is made.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Hangar AE on Cape Canav¬eral Air Force Station in Florida is used by NASA’s Launch Services Program as its communications center. The facility contains the program's Mission Director's Center, Launch Vehicle Data Center, and Telemetry Lab. The hangar, originally built in 1958 for a Department of De¬fense missile program, was acquired by NASA in 1960 and modified to support unmanned missions.

JPSS-1 Mission Dress Rehearsal with NASA's Launch Services Progr

In the Mission Director's Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, NASA and contractor managers and engineers monitor progress during a countdown rehearsal for the launch of a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket with the Joint Polar Satellite System-1, or JPSS-1, spacecraft. Built by Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp. of Boulder, Colorado, JPSS is the first in a series four next-generation environmental satellites in a collaborative program between the NOAA and NASA. Liftoff is scheduled to take place from Vandenberg's Space Launch Complex 2.
