Mission Integrity refers to the principle that no action taken by any party to the Mission shall hinder the impression that (at least for the astronauts and Mission Control staff) the mission is taking place in Real Life.
Mission Integrity is paramount.
The Golden Rule
The Golden Rule states: Nothing goes in; Nothing comes out.
The Golden Rule was established when Astronauts would too often find that, due to innadequate planning and/or lack of checklists, they were missing essential equiptment, food, or toiletries, etc.
Notable violations of The Golden Rule have seen school notes, flashlights, and even an X-Box passed through the Power Box in the Interlock.
Violations of The Golden Rule are a gross breach of Mission Integrity. However, an inventive solution to the astronauts' plight that did not violate The Golden Rule was used during the 2006-07Mission where shampoo, garbage bags, and several other items were launched in a Rubbermaid capsule, which crash-landed on the Planetary Surface, and had to be retrieved during an EVA. Such solutions are to be applauded, as they resolve problems while keeping Mission Integrity, although these have been frowned upon and will not be cunducted during mission deadelous (and premubaly future misshins).
