2.7 FAO Procedures

2.7.1 Job Description

The Flight Activities Officer (FAO) is in charge of monitoring the astronauts' schedule in order to ensure that all astronauts are given appropriate duties. The FAO must also reorganise the astronauts' schedule when unforeseen circumstances interfere with previously planned activities. This duty towards the astronauts as individuals is in contrast to FLIGHT's duties, which involve the scheduling of the crew as a whole for the fulfillment of Mission Objectives.
