The Development of a Project Plan for the Get Away Special Program

Trying to get a project started? Well, since the introduction of the Get Away Special Program, there have been 451 reservations placed by people who, just like yourself, are eager to send a small payload into space; and yet only 33 of them have actually succeeded. Even more staggering, many of those who have flown have done so more than once; meaning that less than 10% of all GAS users have actually sent something into space. Some of the problems that face GAS users are approached and it is hoped that they will be helpful, especially to those new to the program. Some of the subject areas include selecting a project, and payload management.
