Mission Advisor

Each team needs at least one adult who will manage all communications between NESSP and the team. We'll consider you the team's Mission Advisor. (Note: In past challenges we've called this role "Coaches" and "Flight Directors" -- these are the same role as Mission Advisor. Basically, you're the adult in charge.)
