Mission Control and Data Systems The past year marks several
important accomplishments for Mission Control and Data Systems,
which provide the control and performance analyses of NASA's
robotic Earth-orbiting spacecraft. The Spacelab Data Processing
Facility, previously located at the Goddard Space Flight Center,
was consolidated successfully at the Marshall Space Flight
Center, resulting in a cost savings of more than 50 percent in
the processing of Spacelab and Shuttle-attached payloads data.
In FY 1995, NASA Mission Control and Data Systems provided
39,500 hours of mission control services to 11 on-orbit science
missions. Curator: Lillian Gipson| Last Updated: September 5,
