- At the present time this is not possble, because mission control is presently
- only able to handle one mission at a time. This is because there is one lan
- where incomming and out going data can be read.

- However :) we are about to deliver a new Mission Control Center Upgrade in
- September which will allow 2 shuttle missions. But so far there are no multiple
- shuttle missions planned as far as I know.
