Mission Control View

This is probably not the right forum for this but it seems that this is where all the brainiacs are....thank God.

On the Mission Control Map, what is the outlined section near South America that says SAA?

It's the South Atlantic magnetic Anomaly which is an area where the inner Van Allen belts makes it closed approach to Earth.

Hi DaveS,

Do you know the signification of all abbreviations on MCC chart? I'm very interested if yes.

Best regards.

Does it's presence on there signify anything special?  Are there certain things that can't be done there?
