Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Andy Anderson: [B]I see in the article it is mentioned that the MOCR will be restored to represent its appearance for Apollo 11 but the consoles will be an Apollo 15 configuration. <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]"For the consoles themselves, the flight controllers felt that Apollo 15 was the apex in technology for the early manned space program. They felt it was appropriate to restore the consoles to the Apollo 15 mission," Remar said.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> While this may well be true, also, I think it has something to do with the fact that the only surviving documentation available showing the Apollo console layouts, is contained in NASA/Philco document "PHO-TR155 - MCC Operational Configuration - Mission J1, Apollo 15." There just does not seem to be any other Apollo documentation preserved that has that sort of detail available. In any case, it is a wonderful thing that MOCR-2 and the people who worked there will be recognized for the contribution this facility made to the successful Apollo program by this restoration. I assume that there will be a post restoration maintenance program to keep the "moment in time" as fresh as it will be when completed and that access to the MOCR will be strictly limited, even more so than the restrictions recently in place and certainly not as open as it was for the "Level 9" tour I went on a few years back.[/B][/QUOTE]
