Twin Artemis Moon Program Control Rooms | NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center

NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, is home to twin rooms able to support missions and operations in lunar orbit or on the Moon’s surface in real time, helping to ensure mission success and astronaut safety for the agency’s Artemis missions. Take a tour of the Lunar Utilization Control Area (LUCA) and Lander Engineering Support Area (LESA) inside Marshall’s Huntsville Operations Support Center. The LUCA will support Artemis science operations, beginning with Artemis II, while LESA will provide engineering support for landing astronauts on the Moon, beginning with Artemis III.
