In this image, a group of seven engineers sit at their computer consoles, which are set up in 4 parallel rows. Each station has a blue triangular sign atop it that identifies the job function of the person siting there. For example: telecommunication, attitude control, navigation, etc. In the background are two large screens that display mission data. The engineers are all wearing headsets that they use to communicate with one another.
