About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Flight controllers gather inside Mercury Mission Control for Alan Shepard's Freedom 7 mission, which launched on May 5, 1961. The Mercury Mission Control Center in Florida played a key role in the United States' early spaceflight program. Located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the original part of the building was constructed between 1956 and 1958, with additions in 1959 and 1963. The facility officially was transferred to NASA on Dec.
