Lonestar Data Holding, one of the leading companies in the intersection of cloud and space technologies, is proud to announce that the J.F. Honeycutt Mission Control has been inaugurated at the Maritime and Defense Hub in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The official opening took place on Friday, December 15th, presided over by J.F. Honeycutt in person. J.F. Honeycutt is the former NASA Center Director of the Kennedy Space Center and the former President of Lockheed Martin Space Operations. He was a member of Lonestar's Advisory Board, and a key member of NASA team that was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of a successful rescue of the Apollo 13 crew.
As the first video link to open Mission Control, Jay was joined by Apollo Astronaut Brig. Gen. Charles Duke, USAF Retired, Apollo 16 and CapCom for Apollo 11, and fellow Lonestar Advisory Board member, as the first video link to open the facility. As the first Mission Control conversation with two titans of the Apollo era, this discussion focused on the future of lunar exploration as well as the development of commercial services that would benefit humanity as a whole.
Lonestar's Mission Control Center is poised to play a crucial role in the organization's global disaster recovery missions, especially in the case of its first two upcoming missions with NASA CLPS provider, Intuitive Machines of Houston, TX, launching on SpaceX in 2024 in conjunction with NASA's CLPS provider.
In addition to Honeycutt and Duke, both of whom are iconic figures in space exploration and space operations, Lonestar has been a part of its Advisory Board since the company was founded.
