Logistics for Day of In-flight Education Downlink Plan
Several logistical details go into planning the downlink as well as the activities surrounding it that day. Describe logistical tasks such as collecting and selecting questions to ask crew members, collecting Talent Authorization Forms (required for anyone that appears on NASA TV), transportation required to get participants to the facility (if needed), the activities surrounding the downlink and community partnership involvement.
What are some tips for creating a strong logistics plan?
• Do not make the downlink your only activity for the day.
• Invite community partners to participate in presentations or providing activities during the day. List community partners that have made a commitment to help out on the day of the event.
• Include plans for rehearsing the downlink before the event.
• Include plans to collect talent authorization forms for participants that appear on NASA TV.
• Provide a sample schedule about the day including educational activities and logistical activities.
