Custom Mission Control Consoles

Fountainhead Control Rooms designed and built the mission control room environment inside NASA's historic Hangar AE at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The mission control room design supports NASA's Launch Services Program with 41 custom operator positions, three Launch Vehicle Data Centers, integrated visualization systems and a 32 foot mission video wall. The ISO 11064 compliant environment supports 24/7 uncrewed launch operations and multiple launch providers.

NASA Hangar AE Mission Control Room Overview

NASA's Launch Services Program (LSP) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station required custom aerospace control room furniture for the historic Hangar AE facility. The facility supports uncrewed launch operations for NASA's most critical missions, including planetary exploration.

The Challenge: Mission Control Room Design for Complex Launch Operations

The Mission Director's Center (MDC) needed ergonomic control room furniture capable of supporting 41 operator positions with 34-inch ultra-high-definition monitors, a 32-foot mission video wall, and multiple Launch Vehicle Data Centers (LVDCs), while meeting ISO 11064 standards and accommodating multi-mission, multi-tenant operations.

How Fountainhead Designed NASA's Hangar AE Control Rooms

Fountainhead designed and built a complete mission-critical control room furniture solution, including 41 custom control room consoles, three multi-purpose Launch Vehicle Data Centers, integrated video wall systems, and ergonomic operator workstations. Every element was engineered for 24/7 launch support while maintaining ISO 11064 compliance.
