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[2] or Houston Control at the Johnson Space Center.[3]
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.[4]
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.[5]
