Inside Hubble's Control Room During a Spacewalk
Keith Walyus describes the experience of the Servicing Mission 4 spacewalks as head of communications in the Goddard STOCC.
The Space Telescope Operations Control Center, also known as the STOCC, is responsible 24/7, 365 days a year for monitoring all Hubble systems and facilitating all of the telescope's science observations. Two teams of flight controllers designated as the Orbit Team and the Planning Team will work closely with the mission control flight team in Houston in coordinating all of the activities planned as part of the final shuttle servicing mission to the Hubble Telescope.
