Hangar AE Control Center, situated at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station near Kennedy Space Center, serves as a vital communications hub for the Launch Services Program (LSP) and other customers. The facility provides real-time telemetry data monitoring, voice, data and video transmission for both launch vehicles and spacecraft during ground operations and flight.
Hangar AE's Class 10k clean room complex and extensive communications center enable independent verification and validation of vehicle and spacecraft telemetry. The Hangar also connects all KSC and CCSFS launch pads. Its three Launch Vehicle Data Centers (LVDCs) support multiple test operations or large launch missions. The Mission Director's Center (MDC) caters to senior managers, enabling support for any U.S. fleet vehicle, East or West Coast missions.
The Telemetry Lab processes ground or airborne telemetry for any U.S. fleet vehicle, aiding in support from any location worldwide. Hangar AE supports NASA and Lockheed Martin personnel during Orion Exploration Flight Test-1 in December 2014 and the TDRS-L launch atop an Atlas V rocket in January 2014. The Launch Services Program utilizes Hangar AE to independently monitor SpaceX's new launch vehicle, with availability for Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station launch customers.
