SCIENCE, or the Mission Scientist is an expert in Mission Control who will monitor a specific experiment and provide guidelines on data collection and proper handling of various materials to the astronauts conducting experiments.

Number of Scientists

  • There should be at least one Mission Scientist for each experiment.
  • One Mission Scientist should be designated the Principal Investigator for each Experiment
  • If a payload requires a payload specialist, but is not classified as an experiment, that payload should still have an associated Mission Scientist

Scheduling

  • A Mission Scientist need only be present in mission control while their associated experiment is being carried out
  • A Mission Scientist for each experiment should be reachable by FLIGHT at any time to conduct a study of the effects rescheduling the experiment might have on data quality

Pre-Mission

Each Principal Investigator is charged with ensuring that there is at least one astronaut who is well-versed enough in an experiment that they could perform it without contact with Earth.
