Mission Time:
Orbiter Status:
Say:

You are the launch director.  You will be in charge of helping the shuttle to reach orbit.  Each event in the flight will appear in blue under the word say.  Read each even as it appears on your screen.  Old events will bounce to the window below SAY just in case you need more time.  When you are asking teams for "Status reports" or for "Go/no go," please PAUSE after you say the name of each team in order to give them time to respond.  It is important that you are familiar with the launch procedures, so please read the links below so that you are familiar with the process.
