Flight Controller



A Flight Controller is someone who aids in a space launch from a ground-based computer console, which is typically located in a room called "mission control," such as the mission control room at the Cape Courageous Space Center.

One of the United States Space Center's Flight Controller's voice could be heard over the Mars 1 radio giving the countdown to the launch.

The person in charge of the Flight Controllers is called the Flight director. There was a flight director on hand at the Cape Courageous Space Center during its' space launch missions.
