  • The Early Days of Simulation and Operations
    The Early Days of Simulation and Operations The following is an attempt to capture some of my memories of my work at NASA starting July 7, 1959 until I left in August 1970. It is not meant to be a definitive history of what went on in those early days. Harold G. Miller June 30, 2013 Great Falls, Virginia 1 The Early Days of Simulation and Operations In September 1959 a group was formed under Jack Cohen to develop a program for training the personnel who would support Project Mercury. These personnel to be trained were to be located at the Mercury Control Center (MCC) at Cape Canaveral, Florida, and around the world at the Mercury remote sites. This training group was called the Simulation Task Group. Assigned to the group was Arthur (Art) Hand, Glynn Lunney and myself, Harold G. Miller. Richard (Dick) Hoover and Stanley Faber would join the group soon. Richard (Dick) Koos would join the group Sept. 19, 1960. William (Bill) Sullivan transferred into the group from NASA’s Langley Research Center (LaRC). The initial team was located in a small room just off John P. Mayer’s branch on the U.S. Air Force (USAF) side of the NASA Langley Research Center (also Air Force Base), Hampton, Virginia. About a year after the group was formed we were moved to another building and had our offices over a wind tunnel. Jack Cohen left the Simulation Task Group after about a year. Shortly after the group was formed Art Hand transferred to the Cape Canaveral Mercury Control Center.

  • CHAPTER 5: Gemini: on Managing Spaceflight
    CHAPTER 5: Gemini: On Managing Spaceflight “The first phase of the Nation’s second manned space program began like a story- book success” on Saturday, April 8, 1964, when an unmanned, partly instrumented Gemini capsule entered orbit from its launch site at Cape Canaveral. 1 The 12 Gemini flights complet- ed by mid-1966 brought America from the edge of space to outer space, from the pioneering days of Mercury to the lunar landings of Apollo, and into new management techniques including processes like systems and subsystems management, configuration control, and incentive contracting. A major building block in the operations components of spaceflight, Gemini provided an invaluable learning experience in flight control, rendezvous, docking, endurance, extravehicular activity, controlled reentry, and worldwide communications. But the acceleration of Gemini and Apollo programs strained the human resources of the Houston center and created stress and management crises. Although critical in the manned space effort, Gemini was much more and much less than a “storybook” success. The April 1964 launch of the first unmanned Gemini spacecraft on the shoulders of an Air Force Titan II rocket was followed in May with the launch of the first Apollo vehicle aboard a Saturn I. Both coincided nicely with the final relocation of Manned Spacecraft Center personnel to their new permanent site at Clear Lake. Director Bob Gilruth declared an “open house” for the weekend of June 6 and 7, and took great “personal and professional satisfaction” in welcoming the public to the NASA MSC. 2 It was an open house that has been extended throughout the days of the Johnson Space Center, helping establish the important precedent that the center and NASA flight missions are for participation in and viewing and use by the public.

  • 'This Is Ground Control': the Invention of Mission Control Centers in The
    ‘This is Ground Control’: The Invention of Mission Control Centers in the United States and Europe by Michael Peter Johnson A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2012 Keywords: Space history, NASA, ESA, control, Cold War Copyright 2012 by Michael Peter Johnson Approved by James R. Hansen, Chair, Professor of History William F. Trimble, Professor of History Ralph Kingston, Associate Professor of History Abstract This dissertation examines the invention of mission control centers by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the European Space Agency, particularly during the Cold War. The control rooms of Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and the European Space Operations Centre, in Darmstadt, Germany, lie at the heart of this discussion. The three control centers developed individually, however each contain certain similarities yet important differences based on their particular political, economic, and spaceflight, needs. Spaceflight history normally focuses on the astronauts and spacecraft in space. This dissertation instead looks at the history of spaceflight through its ground systems, where the majority of the spaceflight work takes place. It will ask how controllers have fashioned workplaces and workspaces. While all mission control centers fulfill the same basic task of monitoring spacecraft, minor and major differences have lead to some dramatic differences in the construction of the centers. This work tackles three centers with very different missions: American human spaceflight, American robotic spaceflight, and finally European robotic spaceflight. Both domestic and international politics play an important role in the discussion.
