What Happens
during the Mission? - A Snapshot
During the e-Mission there are four student teams with
2 to 8 students on a team: Communications Team (2),
Radiation Team (4-8), Life Support (4- 8), and Crisis
Management Team (5).
The number of students in your class will determine
the number of teams and student assignments.
Each team should have a separate table or group of desks
to work at. The Communications Team should be located
towards the front of the room. The Crisis Management Team
should be located in the back or center of the room.
It is important to arrange the team areas in the room so
that team messengers can walk to and from the other teams
as needed, without interfering with the ongoing work and
without tripping on computer or printer cables. In addition,
the team areas should be positioned to allow everyone to
observe the large projection screen in front of the class.
Every five to six minutes the Radiation Team and Life
Support Teams receive data via computer. After a team
receives its data, team members make the appropriate
calculations, complete the charts and graphs, assess the
situation, and complete Report Forms. The team messengers
will take a copy of the Report Form to the Crisis Management
and the Communications Team. The Crisis Management Team will
analyze the situation based upon the reports it receives and
then its messenger will carry a report to the Communications
Team for transmission to Mission Control.
