jsc2019e036685 (June 28, 2019) – Space Center Houston CEO William Harris talks to the audience for the grand opening of the fully restored Apollo Mission Control Center. NASA’s Johnson Space Center reopened the facility with a grand opening and ribbon cutting event on June 28. The room now is reconfigured to its Apollo-era condition. Many of the items in the restored room are original pieces from 1969 that were found or donated, and the missing items were replicated to ensure walking into the viewing room would feel like taking a step back in time. The restoration team used old photographs, footage, documents and interviews and discussions with Apollo veterans to set everything in its proper place, including coffee mugs, clothing articles and ashtrays. Beginning July 1, the Apollo Mission Control Center will become part of daily tours at Johnson hosted by Space Center Houston.
