Mercury Control Center

Former spacecraft control center at Cape Canaveral, Florida

About

The Mercury Control Center (also known as Building 1385 or simply MCC) was the facility responsible for control and coordination of NASA’s Project Mercury flight operations, as well as the first three Project Gemini missions (the first two uncrewed). It was located at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, east of Samuel C. Phillips Parkway.

The facility was expanded in 1963 by contractor Pan American World Airways to support Project Gemini, adding meeting space, data analysis areas, and a Gemini spacecraft trainer.
