| Capt Larry Page and SSgt Dick Mellor developed the Launch Simulator
Console. It was built so that a missile at a site would not have to be
taken off alert for crew training. It was used daily to run countdowns
and provide realistic faults and emergencies. Considerable time and expense
was saved since the crews could get valuable training right on base.
(Page and Mellor split a $50.00 award for this project) |
