• Chronological structure
• Contingency checklists
• "Breakout" procedures when possible – single sheets for tasks like Pad cameras, pad setup, away team. Allows distribution of tasks

Intended changes for Hermes III: 

• Better packing lists. 
  • Clearer organization by subteam - which exact tools are which? make sure tools aren't doubled 
  • Easy way to add/remove things to packing list
  • Serialize boxes for prelaunch / flight - log which tools are in which box
  • Clearer enforcement of packing for transit so we don't lose items and/or become disorganized during transit
  • Add specific sets of flight spares for small parts
• Go-nogo poll
  • Faster/clearer who to ask for each go/nogo 
  • Multiple boxes for each item – several opportunities
  • Easy way to log attempts (misfires are likely)
    • Altimeter state at launch
    • Temp/wind speed/direction at launch
• Tie roles in more distinctly throughout Launch Ops
• Make quality/consistency integration checklists better across subteams
• Pad cameras were very difficult on launch day: 
  • Lack of training
  • Lack of knowledge of which cameras were available and exact placement of each type of camera
  • No documentation of aluminum foil shades/sunshields for cameras
  • Roles not enforced strongly from the beginning
• We did a verbal walkthrough of the rocket prior to launch – might be nice to have 
• Data recovery was not well-enforced. We took a lot of checkout photos but it's not clear how many of them made it back

Added 9/24: 

• Pre-transit driver checklists
  • One car ran out of gas on the way to the launch site, risking safety and delaying launch
  • Prevent with list of things. 
  • Gas, food, water, list of riders (or # of riders), list of rocket components
  • PRE-PRINT and give to drivers
  • Maybe have matrix of rocket component / tool boxes (serialized earlier) to car number.
• Structural change idea: 
  • Minimize "launch ops" parts to the pad preparations in parallel with final integration onsite and the "pad setup" portion 
  • Pad setup == pad camera setup, rocket vertical
  • Prelaunch == arm avionics, turn on cameras, arm propulsion
  • Launch == go/nogo & contingencies

Structural changes to achieve above items: 

• Table of contents
• Better packing lists
  • Spreadsheet for transit tracking 
    • By box & list of missing items 
    • Single master sheet on cloud --> sharable and traceable
    • Assign spreadsheet manager(s) for launch and enforce that they do their job
  • Color-coding tape & boxes by subteam to enforce accountability (with general category)
    • Each tool or item has a designated spot
    • "Master Key" all tools and all boxes
  • Add specific sets of flight spares for small parts
    • If a part is <$50? (Jakob&Julia?) or single point failure? get 2x
  • Link boxes to cars for launch site transit
    • Or a column for "vehicle" – FedEx or Jakob's car or On Foot... how does it get from A -> B (if applicable)
  •  Pre-transit checklists
    
    • Print checklist with food, water, fuel, cash for tolls, small first-aid kit... etc (common across cars)
    • Open area to write down which rocket parts/boxes go in cars

•  Go-nogo
  • Full page of GO-NOGO that is very clear to see 
  • Is a checklist with checkboxes to fill and roles to call GO-NOGO for certain fields
  • Multiple copies of this page in large print
    • Launch attempt number: __ is a field
  • New Fields: 
    • Altimeter state at launch 
      • number of satellite
    • Temp/wind speed/direction at launch
    • Time & date
    • Some way to connect launch attempt with video files
      • Altimeter startup time
      • Camera startup time
      • Liftoff time (seconds)
•  Tie roles in more distinctly throughout Launch

...

• Ops – Andrew
  • Train people for their roles at rehearsals 
  • Define windows of "useful roles" vs "free hands" 
    • MUST BE DONE BY: XYZ? i.e. Julia calls FAA
  • Ask Jakob & Julia
•  Make quality/consistency integration checklists better across

...

• subteams – Assign to teamleads, Andrew & Jamie verify
  • ENFORCING CHECKOUT PHOTOS
    • Assign a role for that & have a "Master Key" of checkout photos needed for flight
    • Checkout photos are GO-NOGO criteria
  • AVI: More detail on programming of altimeters on the integration checklist
  • Prop & Struc: Torque spec on bolts, Torque stripe all bolts
  • Keep checkout photos in bold
  • Get rid of ambiguity (e.g. what does "Secure" mean? Pull test? Wobble test? ??)
•  Pad Cameras - changes to Launch Ops
  • Identify Pad Cameras & order them (How much money do we have to do this???)
  • ID each camera and show where it should be placed
  • Make sunshades for each camera
  • Enforce roles & train for roles
  • Add in Camera setup if necessary 
  • Add in "take photo of camera running with your phone" 
  • Identify when pad cameras should be turned on and someone from the Pad should signal when that time is
    • After altimeter & onboard camera startup complete
•  Add in verbal walkthrough of integration checklists?

...

•  Data Recovery
  • Checkout photos - see above
  • File management scheme: What do you name your files and where do they go so they can be found
  • Expand post-launch checklist - add in roles for all subsystems
    • Enforce roles!! Launch is not done until this is completed
•  In the Event of...
  • Premature loss of control in flight, etc... proceed to ballistic recovery
  • Medical Emergency
  • Rocket otherwise becomes dangerous? 
  • Go over failure modes at the launch site before flight – add to preflight on-site meeting / safety review thing (in a Kahoot?) 
•  Preflight Sims
  • Split into RasAero & Recovery Sims
  • Signatures for each one
  • Upload to file, filename?
•  How To: use Transit spreadsheet - Jamie
  • Appendix with link & instructions

...

• KEEP:
  • Single-page breakouts where possible
  • Contingency 1-pagers
  • Signatures required
  • Categorize by date

Misc. TODO:

•  Ask Jakob & Julia questions from this sheet

...

• - Andrew
•  Make Transit spreadsheet structure for packing lists but DO NOT FILL IN ANY ITEMS - Jamie
•  Get teamleads to start working on their packing lists after structure is made

...

• - Jamie
•  Pad Cameras
  •  Consult Charlie & Sam on cheap, easy, reliable pad cameras?
  •  Get $$$ for pad cameras
  •  Order pad cameras 
  •  Practice at rehearsal
•  Order colored tape and sharpies if necessary
•  Bring Launch Ops 3.0 to teamleads 11/19 - Jamie
•  Pack and Serialize boxes - Andrew, Jaime, and 2-3 others (Pre-rehearsal)

...

• Single-page breakouts where possible
• Contingency 1-pagers
• Signatures required
• Categorize by date
