Last year NASA revamped some of their mission monitoring systems by, among other things, changing from an older CRT to a new Rackmount 18-inch, 19-inch and 20-inch LCDs equipped with a Surface Acoustic Wave touchscreen. These changes took place at Vandenburg Air Force Base in California and Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Below are some before and after pictures. Click on an image to see a larger picture.
