A tour inside the brand new CSIRO Mobile Mission Control & Operations Centre, built inside a b-double truck. Dr Mark Dunn gives us a tour of the new fitout.
Purpose-built, the b-double trailer deploys into a fully operational mission control centre that can accommodate up to 30 mission operators, each supported by configurable multi-monitor stations and mission-status displays. Onboard, satellite, 4G, integrated radio and vibration-tolerant servers ensure connectivity, even in remote locations. The mobile Mission Operations Centre is powered by a battery-backed solar system with generator fallback, enabling sustainable, off-grid operation across Australia's geographically dispersed launch sites.
