Each tutorial has a goal that should be achieved by the end of the tutorial. It is recommended that you go over each tutorial before attempting to finish a sample mission or before starting your own mission from scratch. The 5 tutorials and their goals are shown below: </p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Tutorial</th> <th>Goal</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Plan</td> <td>Complete a plan and have it approved.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Launch</td> <td>Successfully launch a shuttle into orbit.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>EVA</td> <td>Dock modules together and other EVA functions.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Land</td> <td>Successfully land a shuttle.</td> </tr> <tr> <td><abbr title="research and development"><rep><del>R and D</del><ins>R&D</ins></rep></abbr></td> <td>Conduct a research and development experiment.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> To start a tutorial, select the Disk Icon. From the menu that appears, select "Choose Mission Tutorial". Now move the highlight to the desired tutorial and select it. </p> <section> <h3 id=Plan-Tutor>Plan Tutor</h3> <p> Anytime a large scale project is undertaken, carelful planning must be done to ensure the success of that project. The goal of the Plan Tutorial is to get a plan approved for a mission and SAVE it. To gain approval, the five budget items involved need to be approved, the right personnel need to be hired, and the correct modules need to be purchased. Plan is an important part of the project. It will be essential to return to the Plan section many times during the course of a mission. </p> <label for=plan-options>The Plan options are:</label> <ol> <li>Budget</li> <li>Space Equipment</li> <li>Station Design</li> <li>Crew Selection</li> <li>Module Selection</li> <li>Launch Scheduling</li> <li>Summary and Approval</li> </ol> <p> Move the highlight and press the button to enter any of these areas. </p> <section> <h4 id=Budget>Budget</h4> <p> You must allocate funds to five different budget items before your plan can be approved. These items are plan, equipment, modules, operations, and research <rep><del>and</del><ins>&</ins></rep> development. Each item has 3 entries: dollars spent, dollars remaining in the reserve fund, and the total of both dollars spent and what remains in the reserve fund. Each budget item has a reserve fund color bar. The dollars in the reserve fund are increased or decreased by moving the joystick to the right (increase) or to the left (decrease). </p> <p> Now, let's actually set the reserve funds. To set the reserve fund for Planning, move the highlight to "Planning" and push the joystick to the right until the dollar value in the reserve fund reaches $1,000 Million. For "Equipment", set the dollar value at $1,600 Million. Move to "Modules" and set the reserve dollars at $2,000 Million. Set "Operations" at $1,200 Million. Finally, set "R&D" to $400 Million. Note that the project budget is now $3,800 Million. These are the remaining funds available after allocating money to the five budget items. If your dollar value in the total project budget is not the same, review this section again. </p> <p> Money is spent from these categories at different rates and for different expenses. "Planning" spends money at a rate of $5 Million a day. Money is spent from the "Equipment" and "Module" budgets every time an item of space equipment or a module is purchased. "Operations" bears the cost of shuttle launches and landings, in addition to basic station maintainance and crew member's salaries. Money is spent from the "R&D" budget during the course of a<ins>n</ins> R&D project. </p> <p> After setting your budget items, select "Exit". The Plan icon at the top of the screen will begin flashing. Press the button again to enter the Plan section. Now, move the highlight down to "Crew Selection" and press the button. </p> </section> <section> <h4 id=Crew-Selection>Crew Selection</h4> <com>TODO</com> </section> <section> <h4 id=Space-Equipment>Space Equipment</h4> <com>TODO</com> </section> <section> <h4 id=Module-Selection>Module Selection</h4> <com>TODO</com> </section> <section> <h4 id=Station-Design>Station Design</h4> <com>TODO</com> </section> <section> <h4 id=Launch-Scheduling>Launch Scheduling</h4> <com>TODO</com> </section> <section> <h4 id=Summary and Approval>Summary and Approval</h4> <com>TODO</com> </section> </section> <section> <h3 id=Launch-Tutor>Launch Tutor</h3> <com>TODO</com> </section> <section> <h3 id=EVA-Tutor>EVA Tutor</h3> <com>TODO</com> </section> <section> <h3 id=Land-Tutor>Land Tutor</h3> <com>TODO</com> </section> <section> <h3 id=Research-and-Development-Tutor>Research and Development Tutor</h3> <com>TODO</com> </section> <section> <h3 id=Tutor-Information>Tutor Information</h3> <com>TODO</com> </section> <section> <h3 id=Sample-Missions>Sample Missions</h3> <p> There are three sample missions that are at various stages of development. They make it possible to step in as the project coordinator without having to start from scratch. </p> <label for=sample-mission-list>The three missions are outlined below:</label> <dl id=sample-mission-list> <dt>Research</dt> <dd> A complete Space Station. Ready to start R&D experiments or take on special EVA tasks. </dd> <dt>EVA</dt> <dd> A prtially-built Space Station. Requires additional module docking. Modules are floating in orbit. </dd> <dt>Approved</dt> <dd> A complete and approves Plan. Modules still need to be launched into space by the shuttles. </dd> </dl> <p> To select a sample mission, select the Disk Manager, then select "Resume Prior Mission From Disk". The names of the three sample missions appear. Select a sample mission to play. </p> <p> Note: On the Apple, the sample missions are saved in keyboard mode. If you are using a joystick, you will want to go to the "Change Keyboard Layout" section of the Disk Manager <a href="reference.html#Change-Keyboard-Layout">(See page 48.)</a>. </p> </section> </main> </body> </html>
