Mission Debriefing Session
What follows is an account of the mission debriefing that took place at the March 5th work session.
The participant responsible for each discussion point have been identified so that any misrepresentations can be corrected (any mistakes can be blamed on DM). It is assumed that some earger spacesim member will take it upon themselves to reorganize this into a format to which other members can more easily add their thoughts and ideas.
The meeting was divided into a discussion of what we thought went well and what we were less happy with. We mostly succeeded in following this plan.
The Good Stuff
- We were only 2 days late launching, better than last year.
- There were fewer glitches during the mission - the EECOM software had the most glitches.
- The planetary surface was really good.
- There were not too many disasters.
- "Final Countdown" was much appreciated.
On the other hand:
- There was too little time to explore the surface of "Europa"
- The high radiation levels imposed additional limits on the time spent on Europa.
- It was too difficult to change the computer used for specific software.
- We need a common folder with a copy of all of the different software applications and supplementary files.
- Mission protocols were better and better followed than last year.
- The cameras worked.
- The VPN worked and allowed MC to be held at Lisgar for most of the day.
