Mission Submission deadlines
To ensure sufficient time for review, approval, slotting, and preparation, missions must be submitted by the following deadlines:
- Missions scheduled Monday to Saturday must be submitted at least 5 days prior to STARTEX (excluding the STARTEX day).
- Missions scheduled on Sunday must be submitted at least 4 days prior to STARTEX (excluding the STARTEX day).
- For Sunday missions, this requirement may be reduced to 3 days with approval from the Operations Command (OC).
These deadlines are established to provide:
- A minimum of 1 day for mission approval.
- A minimum of 1 day for pre-slotting activities.
- The standard 1UP and 2UP preparation windows.
Missions submitted after these deadlines should not be considered guaranteed for approval or scheduling.
