Launch operations are supervised and controlled from several control rooms (also known as a firing room). The controllers are in control of pre-launch checks, the booster and spacecraft. Once the rocket has cleared the launch tower (usually within the first 10–15 seconds), is when control is switched over to the [[Mission Control Center]] at the [[Johnson Space Center]].
