Mission Control
Mission Control
Mission Control represents the heart of human spaceflight operations, where teamwork, communication, technology, and decision-making come together to support every phase of a mission. From launch to orbit, docking, lunar operations, and safe return, flight controllers and mission teams monitor complex systems, solve problems in real time, and coordinate across many specialized roles. It shows how successful space exploration depends not only on astronauts, but also on the dedicated professionals on the ground who guide missions with precision, discipline, and trust

Beyond Capabilities Spotlight Series
Beyond Capabilities Spotlight Series
While the team is finished with the program, our mission does not end. We are planning to host an event that teaches others how to build their own high-powered personal model rocket and get Level 1 certified, taking a step closer to their dreams of working on a real one.
Tentative Plan:
1) Certify all current team members for their L1 certificate
2) Hold a total of three sessions on high-powered rocketry 101 basics
3) Begin certification process for a maximum of 10 and expand after the first round of certifications
