Title
JPL's Space Flight Operations Facility
Full Description
In May 1964, a ceremony was held to dedicate the new Space
Flight Operations Facility, which used state-of-the-art
equipment for mission operations and communications with JPL's
unmanned spacecraft. One of the first missions to use the
facility was Ranger 7, which went to the Moon in July 1964. The
Space Flight Operations Facility collected the tracking and
scientific information for the Deep Space Network. In 1985, the
Space Flight Operations Facility was designated as a National
Historic Landmark. It is still in use.
