Launch History

Last updated
The goal of maintaining a launch history is to keep a chronology of lessons learned from each launch, as well as documenting successes, failures, and keeping a log of last-minute fixes (which may need to get implemented into official checklists or may necessitate a change of design).
The individual launch pages should contain photos, description of off-nominal procedures (as well as the procedures followed during the launch, if possible), notable events, as well as lessons learned for the relevant sub-teams.
