Mission Control LOGS, MC LOGS, or just LOGS, is a Mission Control position. LOGS is a member of Mission Control Staff.
Contents
Duties
Recording
LOGS must record, with timestamp, all interesting occurances during the mission including:
- Launch
- Engine Burn
- Docking
- Depressurization
- Permissions given by Mission Control
- Requests from the Habitat
- Shift change outside of normal procedure
Because there is often a chatlog from AUXCOM, LOGS is not required to contain all the details of the current situation, and should be considered a minute by minute summary.
Shifts
It is the responsibility of MC LOGS to remind the Flight Director at 20 minute intervals to verify that each station in Mission Control is manned by an appropriate staff member, and that all stations report green.
It is the responsibility of MC LOGS to remind the Flight Director at 30 minute intervals to verify that all stations in the Habitat are manned by an appropriate Astronaut. In addition, during this check, each piece of software should be tested to ensure that Mission Control is receiving the correct telemetry from the Habitat. Testing the software consists of verifying that all software reads the same time as all the software in the habitat.
Best Practices
At the start of a new day on Earth, the log should read
End of DAY X Start of DAY Y
Timestamps should be in HHMM corresponding to a 24-hour clock. This means that 8:32 pm would be logged as 2032.
Following the timestamp should be a space, dash, and space.
The Logger should identify himself upon taking over logs and upon ceding logs to the next logger.
Record the launch and landing times as exactly as possible, to the second.
Start the log entry with the person who is performing the action and not the person who is receiving. I.e. if the Habitat asks for permission, the log entry starts with "Habitat asks," and if MC grants it, that entry starts with "MC grants" and not "Habitat is granted"
Example Log
Start of DAY 1 ... 1230 - Ms. Alice on MC LOGS 1232 - Habitat requests permission to Launch 1233 - MC grants permission to Launch 1235 - SRBs engaged 1236 - Hab at 300km from Earth 1237 - SRBs disengaged 1237 - Hab Engines at 100% in ccwPrograde 1238 - Astronauts report loud impacts on C&C roof 1239 - Hab Engines at 0% 1240 - ENG reports RAD shields malfunctioning 1241 - EECOM reports decompression in C&C 1243 - EECOM reports internal radiation at 4.23E-09 S/s and climbing 1244 - Astronauts evacuated to Interlock 1246 - CAPCOM reports loss of communication ... 1313 - Ms. Alice cedes MC LOGS 1314 - Mr. Bob on MC LOGS
Unofficial Logs
It is also the job of LOGS to record unofficial occurances in the unofficial logs.
Other Duties
Although this is not part of the LOGS job description, LOGS is frequently the same person as BIOCOM as BIOCOM does not require constant attention and is often on the same computer as the logs.
