Space Prep Operations Control Centers

The Space Prep Operations Control Center (OCC) provides a safe and secure environment for customer personnel to test, control and monitor spacecraft and launch operations at the launch site. OCC control rooms accommodate up to 12 console workstations and provide data, voice, and video connectivity to processing bays and launch complexes.
