Summary
HAER documentation of Mission Control Road located on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. This record contains written, graphic, and photographic material as required for mitigation when a significant historic resource is altered or demolished. The Mercury Control Center was considered a contributing resource for its use during Project Mercury, the first U.S. space program, and the first four flights of the Gemini Program. The Mission Control Center housed the flight controllers whose duty was to take over flight control after lift-off and follow it through until splashdown. Additionally, it supported vehicle checkout, spacecraft tracking, and astronaut training.
