Hangar AE, NASA communications center in Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, United States
The Hangar AE complex contains three launch vehicle data centers and a Mission Director's Center for monitoring space missions and launches at Cape Canaveral.
Constructed in 1959 for Department of Defense missile programs, NASA acquired the building in 1960 and modified it for unmanned space missions.
The Launch Services Program uses Hangar AE as a central hub for monitoring spacecraft launches and collecting telemetry data from multiple launch sites.
Each control room accommodates up to 30 personnel, with advanced communication systems processing real-time voice, data, and video information during launch operations.
The facility includes a Class 10K horizontal laminar flow clean room and can receive telemetry from launch sites across the United States.
