Introduction

The customer requested for there to be specific rules and guidelines for the disassembly and reassembly portion during the day of Mission Launch. In order to compile a comprehensive list of rules and guidelines, a set of questions were sent to the project managers in regards to disassembly and reassembly. With the initial input from the project manager, an initial document was composed outlining the intended rules and guidelines. After a brief review of this document by the project managers, minor adjustment were made to the list. The current list of the rules and guidelines for disassembly and reassembly are listed below.
