The Mission Operations Center (MOC) for Swift is located approximately 2.5 miles from the University Park campus of Penn State. The MOC is lead by Mission Director John Nousek, and consists of two teams: the Science Operations Team (SOT) and Flight Operations Teams (FOT)... FOT, lead by Mark Hilliard, perform the crucial engineering tasks necessary to operate the Swift spacecraft, including commanding, downlinking data, and ensuring the health and safety of the spacecraft.
