The main control room is dedicated to the ATV mission execution/management performed by the CNES flight control team, headed by the flight director.
- The ESA ATV Operations Management Team (OMT), in charge of the overall operations preparation and execution activities, and of decision making for off-nominal and emergencies situations (on the right side)
