Flight Controllers Are Personnel Who Aid

Flight controllers aid space flight missions by working in control centers like NASA's Mission Control Center, monitoring technical aspects of missions in real time from computer consoles using telemetry data. Each controller specializes in a specific area and communicates with additional experts, while the Flight Director leads the flight controllers, oversees their activities, and has overall responsibility for mission success and safety.

Flight controllers are personnel who aid space flight by working in such Mission Control Centers

as NASA's Mission Control Center or ESA's European Space Operations Centre. Flight controllers
work at computer consoles and use telemetry to monitor various technical aspects of a space
mission in real time. Each controller is an expert in a specific area and constantly communicates with
additional experts in the "back room". The Flight Director, who leads the flight controllers, monitors
the activities of a team of flight controllers and has overall responsibility for success and safety.
This article primarily discusses NASA's flight controllers at the Johnson Space Center (JSC)
in Houston. The various national and commercial flight control facilities have their own teams, which
may be described on their own pages.
