  • RECORD DATE NOT STATED CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Mercury astronaut Scott Carpenter stands in front of the Mercury Control Center. Carpenter flew the Aurora 7 mission, launched on May 24, 1962. The Mercury Mission Control Center in Florida played a key role in the United States early spaceflight program. Located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the original part of the building was constructed between 1956 and 1958, with additions in 1959 and 1963. The facility officially was transferred to NASA on Dec. 26, 1963, and served as mission control during all the Project Mercury missions, as well as the first three flights of the Gemini Program, when it was renamed Mission Control Center.
