Additional Details



Flight controllers were "flagged" by these lamps when various mission or spacecraft events occurred. The display was used during Apollo missions at Mission Control Houston and then with Skylab and Shuttle flights. Displays of this type were retired after 30 years of service in the 1990's when Mission Control equipment was updated.
