FLIGHT OPERATIONS FACILITIES

Early in the Mercury design stages, it became evident that this project would require an extensive tracking and data-acquisition network. The presence of man in a satellite demanded that considerably different requirements be placed on the tracking network than had hitherto been necessary for unmanned vehicles. The most significant of these requirements was that it was now imperative that the system respond rapidly to contingency situations to insure adequate safety of the astronaut.
