Question

a strong thunderstorm just knocked out the power of the entire space center. who should the team contact to make sure their equipment is still in working order?
○ the mission control center
○ capcom
○ ground control
○ the flight director

Explanation:

The Mission Control Center coordinates all aspects of space - flight operations and would be responsible for assessing the status of equipment after a power - outage due to a thunderstorm. CAPCOM is mainly for communication with astronauts, Ground Control has broader air - traffic related functions in some contexts and is not the main point of contact for equipment status post - power outage, and the Flight Director focuses more on the overall flight plan and real - time flight operations rather than equipment status check after a power outage.

Answer:

the Mission Control Center
