Where is Mission Control for the Solo Spirit flight, and what role does it perform?
Mission Control will be located at Washington University in St. Louis. It will be the meteorology and routing center and base for communications with Fossett. It also will be the receiving station for the information gathered by the science payload that is aboard Solo Spirit. A group of students and scientists from Washington University s Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences in Arts and Sciences (led by Raymond E. Arvidson, Ph.D., professor and chair of the department, and science coordinator for the flight and mission) will assist in the mission, processing the data received and tracking the position of the balloon. The media center also will operate from the Mission Control Center, which is Room 300 of Brookings Hall, the university s main administration building.
