Ground Control Operations

Ground Control Operations involve the team responsible for managing and coordinating a spacecraft or aircraft while it’s on the ground. This includes preparing the vehicle for launch, tracking its position, and overseeing systems to ensure safety and proper function. They communicate with the crew or the vehicle through radio and computer systems, monitor environmental conditions, and respond to any issues that arise. Essentially, ground control acts as the command hub, providing guidance, support, and operational oversight to ensure successful missions and safe operations from the ground perspective.
