Description
Operations at the Eastern Test Range require coordination of instrumentation systems located at many widely separated locations. The workload of the ETR has changed from its original mission of supporting aerodynamic launches to support of ballistic launches and now faces an era of orbital support tasks. This paper discusses the plans for Range Control during the coming era. The observations contained herein represent one school of thought of the many groups that are studying the ETR workload of the present and near future.
