NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center provides both the control and ground support for all of NASA's unmanned near-earth satellites and the communications for manned missions (e.g., the space shuttle). Recently, Goddard has become very concerned with the human factors aspects of their current and proposed command and control environments, particularly those which are being considered for increased application of automation. This paper describes current activities as well as proposed research.
