>We already >have a bit more people than we need down there [at MTA] Not many. I have 12 positions identified for an MTA launch, though some of them are dual hatted: Pyro Operator TRACON Liaison Program Manager Range Safety Officer Range Control Officer Parachute Rigger Propellants Officer Helmsman (Console Operator) Recovery Officer Communications Officer Public Affairs Officer/Videographer Observer/Tracker That's a rough minimum number of roles for a launch to go smoothly, though a person can fill multiple roles. For example, I'll be RCOing from the OP; for another, with the departure of Mark Blair to Oz, Dan will be looking over his own shoulder as both the KISS Program Manager and the PropsO (aka Speaker to Peroxide). Safety officers shouldn't be dual hatted, and ours aren't. >I don't see why we'd need a far bigger crew to launch, say, >PROTO. Depends on where and under what control scheme. If we're launching from Black Rock, AST might make us post enough security to ensure launch commit criteria are not violated. If we're able to launch from an airport or spaceport, the port officials will presumably do that for us. -R -- Every complex, difficult problem has a simple, easy solution - which is wrong.
