Congratulations to the ispace-U.S. crew on the opening of the Summit Mission Control Center! Summit MCC was built on a foundation of lessons learned from ispace’s Mission 1 operations and Mission 2 preparation. The ispace-U.S. Mission Operations Team has supported Mission 1 and is supporting Mission 2 led by ispace inc. Through that collaboration, many lessons learned were applied to this MCC design, operational execution, and training. #ispace #ispaceUS #APEX #lunarquest
