Boeing in El Segundo has opened a new mission control center, from which the company controls the satellites it launches into space.

Boeing uses the center to make sure the satellites deploy correctly from the rocket and enter the appropriate orbit around the Earth. Then Boeing hands control of the satellite to the customer that purchased it.

Boeing will show off the new center to the media on Monday.

I'll give you an update afte I see it.
