In August 2008, Boeing completed a $10 million, 20,500-square-foot satellite Mission Control Center in El Segundo, California. Hubbed through new network and communication rooms, the Boeing MCC is capable of connecting ground stations around the globe for use in post-launch operations. Seamless communication to and from a variety of ground stations, located in the United States, Italy, South Africa, Canada, Indonesia and Australia support monitoring satellite health and conducting spacecraft operations from the Boeing MCC to the satellites in orbit.
