This is Mission Control

"This is Mission Control" with Jay Trimble of NASA-Ames


NASA's space exploration missions are guided by teams of mission controllers on the ground. Whether it's the control of robots that extend our senses to the surface of distant planets, telescopic eyes that peer deep into the universe with multi-spectral vision, or human beings on a space station or the surface of the Moon, mission control is there. This is the story of what we do in mission control.

Jay Trimble founded and leads the User Centered Technology (UCT) Group at NASA Ames Research Center. The UCT group uses teams of people with different backgrounds, including design, anthropology and computer science, to build software for mission control for human and robotic spaceflight.  His training includes an M.S. Computer Science from the University of Southern California, B.A. inGeology from the University of California, Berkeley.
