			==Crew's Responsibilities==

			1. Write your report using the standard crew report templates, using a text editor or Microsoft Word. Be sure and save a copy on your local computer in case you need it for your own purposes after the mission. Bold and Italics are ok but fonts will be ignored and converted to what is used on the website. Please ensure the line breaks and paragraph breaks are single instances. This is to avoid an excessive amount of whitespace in your report, which looks bad on the website and typically needs to be manually fixed by the Web Team.

			2. Any questions to Mission Support, other conversations, and/or personal comments need to be sent in separate emails with subject:
	"Mission Support [query] or [greetings] Crew XXX"		"Mission Support [query] or [greetings] Crew XXX"
