Duty Roster
Your Help is Needed!
It will take lots of volunteer help to make a launch this big a success.
is our Chief Range Safety Officer (RSO) and Launch Control
Officer (LCO).
We can all do our part by signing up for a period of
duty. If you're up to the task (Level 2 Certification or better), e-mail
and sign-up.
We will need two RCOs and LCOs for each time period on
Friday and Saturday. Any blanks in the tables below need a volunteer.
If you are not Level 2 certified you can act as an assistant LCO (it's
a great way to learn more about rocketry). Thanks in advance to everyone
who can help.
Check the bottom of this page for a description of RCO and LCO duties
and qualifications.
Sign up now, we need
the help!
