This will include the monitoring of systems aboard the new International Space Station, as it becomes operational. The Compunetix equipment will allow all operators and managers to monitor all communications traffic occurring during a mission, and to talk to, and conference, anyone else connected to the system. This facility participates in the formal "go/no-go" decision process for each launch while communicating with Johnson Space Center in Houston and Kennedy Space Center Kennedy Space Center (Cape Canaveral) U.S. launch site for manned space missions.
