White team

White team

The White Team was the Mission Control shift team under the direction of former NASA flight director Gene Kranz, who served as a flight director between 1965 and 1972. The shift colors, used by all NASA flight directors since Mercury 9, are chosen by newly christened flight directors and are retired when that particular flight director leaves the console for the last time, usually when he or she is promoted to senior NASA management positions.

Colors for the NASA flight controllers used between Mercury 9 and STS-1 are as follows:
