1.0 Mission Control Staffing Procedures

1.0.1 Mission Control Posts

There are 9 posts in Mission Control arranged in priority order:

FLIGHT Procedures
CAPCOM Procedures
AUXCOM Procedures
EECOM Procedures
ENG Procedures
FIDO Procedures
LOGS Procedures
Mission Scientist Procedures
Flight Surgeon Procedures

Notes

Note that Earth Station 1, should it be online, should follow AUXCOM Procedures.

Note that Mission Scientist is not a critical position, and need only be filled when Experiments are taking place.

Note that a Flight Surgeon need not be present in Mission Control at all times. It is sufficient for there to be a SURGEON on-call.

Suggested Double Stations

If necessary a single person may be permitted to monitor two stations at once following the combinations suggested below:

  • AUXCOM and LOGS
  • ENG and FIDO

1.0.2 Mission Control Shift Length

A shift in Mission Control is 20 minutes long. Each shift will begin with a positions and software check, as explained in the LOGS Procedures.

1.0.3 Minimum Staffing Requirements

The minimum number of Mission Controllers present in Mission Control at any time is three. In the case of fewer than seven Mission Controllers, stations should be assigned based on the Priority List or doubled up according to the List of Suggested Double Stations.

1.0.4 Staffing Crisis

If there are fewer than the minimum number of Mission Control Staff in Mission Control, the Flight Director will declare a Staffing Crisis, and follow the Staffing Crisis Resolution Procedures.

If a staffing crisis has been declared and the staffing crisis resolution procedures have been followed and there are at least the minimum number of Mission Control staff present, then the Flight Director will declare the end of the staffing crisis and follow the Staffing Crisis Normalisation Procedures.

Resolution Procedures


  • The Mission Control Commander should proceed to locate more staff for Mission Control.

Normalisation Procedures

  • Verify that positions are allocated according to the Priority List
  • Inform the Habitat Commander that Mission Control is staffed and that their Special Discretionary Powers are no longer applicable
  • Confirm that the Habitat acknowledges Mission Control's reclaimed authority
