The Mercury Control Center (also known as Building 1385 or simply MCC) provided control and coordination of all activities associated with the NASA's Project Mercury flight operation as well as the first three Project Gemini flights (the first two had no crew). It was located on the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, east of Samuel C. Phillips Parkway. The facility was expanded in 1963 to support Project Gemini by contractor Pan American World Airways to provide more meeting space along with space for data analysis, and a large space for a new Gemini spacecraft trainer.

dbo:abstract
  • The Mercury Control Center (also known as Building 1385 or simply MCC) provided control and coordination of all activities associated with the NASA's Project Mercury flight operation as well as the first three Project Gemini flights (the first two had no crew). It was located on the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, east of Samuel C. Phillips Parkway. The facility was expanded in 1963 to support Project Gemini by contractor Pan American World Airways to provide more meeting space along with space for data analysis, and a large space for a new Gemini spacecraft trainer. The more complex requirements of later Gemini and Apollo flights forced control operations to move to a larger facility located in Houston, Texas, but the MCC continued to be used for training and meeting space. On June 1, 1967, the Center became a historic stop for public tours, and continued this function through the mid-1990s. (en)
  • Le centre de contrôle Mercury (en anglais : Mercury Control Center), également connu sous le nom de Building 1385 ou simplement MCC, est le centre de contrôle de mission qui a assuré le contrôle et la coordination de toutes les activités associées au programme Mercury de la National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ainsi que du premier vol du programme Gemini, Gemini 3. Il était situé sur la base de lancement de Cap Canaveral près du complexe de lancement 14. Le bâtiment est construit entre 1956 et 1958 et utilisé pour des missions à partir de 1961. L'installation a été agrandie en 1963 pour le programme Gemini mais les exigences plus complexes des vols ultérieurs des programmes Gemini et Apollo ont obligé un déménagement vers une installation plus grande située à Houston, le centre de contrôle de mission Christopher C. Kraft Jr.. Le MCC a continué d'être utilisé comme lieu d'entraînement avant de servir pour des visites touristiques jusqu'au milieu des années 1990. * Portail de l’astronautique * Portail de la Floride * Portail de la protection du patrimoine (fr)
