CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Workers at NASA's Kennedy Space Center watch a demonstration of new systems installed in the Young-Crippen Firing Room, also known as Firing Room 1, inside the Launch Control Center. The renovation has been led by the Ground Systems Development and Operations Program based at Kennedy. The new systems are designed to be flexible so controllers can process and launch multiple types of rockets and spacecraft, whether they are government or commercial models.
