- Speaking of which, when I was last at JSC two years ago, the upper control
- room was still classified. Now that the shuttle is no longer flying
- classified missions, what is being done with the second control room?
- Is it being declassified, can it be made available for regular shuttle
- flights, or is it just sitting unused?
-
- On a related subject, lets say that a shuttle was docked on Fred for
- a 90 day mission. Would there need to be a 24 hour mission control
- room set up while the shuttle was just sitting? Couldn't like three
- people in a mini-control room watch the docked shuttle while the main
- control room was flying a mission?
