At the German Space Operations Center (GSOC), a new generation of monitoring and control software has been put to operations, as well for the antenna hardware at GSOC's ground station in Weilheim, as for the internal communication network infrastructure of the control center in Oberpfaffenhofen. While keeping operations ongoing and trying to create monitoring tools looking familiar to the experienced long-term operators, DLR also tries to improve operations by innovative concepts. Beside our intention for progress, new concepts have become necessary by the growing complexity of the systems in use and even more by the rapidly increasing amount of monitoring information provided by these systems. This paper describes, how the way to display a complex system has changed with the new M&Ctool, and its impact to operations and operators.
