Inside Mission Control with Artemis-1 Flight Director Rick LaBrode

From NASA’s Artemis Mission Control Room in Houston, the flight control team has overall responsibility for flight operations from booster ignition to splashdown – including ascent, on-orbit operations, and reentry. The lead flight director for Artemis-1, Rick LaBrode, is responsible for building the mission timeline, developing procedures and flight rules that guide spacecraft operations, training the flight control teams, and carrying out the plan. LaBrode has worked in flight operations for more than 35 years, initially as an instrumentation and communications flight controller and then as a flight director for both the space station and the space shuttle. 🎥 credit AmericaSpace.com / Mike Killian
