The famous "Mission Control Center" (MCC) at Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas is the heart of human space flight. Cimarron is proud to have been supporting NASA and our country's space explorers in the MCC since 1988, and continues today.
The MCC is an integrated ground facility that provides spacecraft command and control capabilities critical to the US Space Initiative. The MCC architecture consists of the Mission Control Center (MCC), the Consolidated Communications Facility (CCF), 
the Remote Extension in Moscow (REM) and the JSC Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The REM acts as the backup control center for the MCC. The CCF provides all the ground-to-air/space data and voice communications features of the MCC. The EOC provides site-wide emergency operations capability.
Cimarron got its start in the MCC working with IBM on a total system upgrade in 1988.
Currently, Cimarron is a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin under the Facility Development and Operations Contract (FDOC). This relationship started in 1999 under the Consolidated Space Operations Contract (CSOC), and then transitioned to MSOC in 2004 and the FDOC in 2009. As a major teammate we provide the sustaining engineering of the Command and Telemetry systems, the mission planning sub-systems, and the day-of-launch reconfiguration systems. We provide the hardware Maintenance of the computer, network, data communications, voice communications and video downlink infrastructure that comprises the MCC. We also provide the flight operations support team for the MCC: Ground Controllers, Commanders, Data Flow Engineers, Video Engineers, Voice Engineers, Facility Support Managers to configure the MCC, and integrated Help Desk for operational and planning needs.
On CSOC we also performed in Database and Configuration Management at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and the Integrated Operations Architecture (IOA) System Engineering, an advanced distributed control center concept. This concept was for standardization of NASA’s control centers and to reduce the cost of ground operations.
