Sketch a chart like this on your paper: Link to Practice site: http://www.earthkam.ucsd.edu:83/smoc/ You need a Username and password to use this site - you get one from Mission Control when you register for a mission. Once you have a username and a password, it will be the same for all missions, however, you will always need to register for each new mission so that you can get a new set of passwords. They usually send 100 at at time, - I usually then request another 100 as Mission Control is on Pacific Time.
 * 5. Can we practice?**

Follow the directions in this ppt to practice:
