Description of Driving Event:
Construction operations aimed at improving accommodations or improving the capabilities of a mission critical support facility are required periodically. An extensive construction effort was underway at the Spacecraft Operations Control Center (SOCC) in Suitland, Maryland during the period immediately preceding the launch of the GOES-L spacecraft (5/3/00). Standard operating procedure for the SOCC is to freeze the hardware/software configuration of the facility 30 days prior to launch. On-going construction at the facility made it difficult to satisfy this requirement without impacting the facility construction schedule, which can effect multiple programs.
