The National Security Council is composed of senior representatives from the Association's corporate membership and plays a critical strategic role in the plans, activities, and initiatives of the Councils and their committees. The Defense Council is responsible for all defense and national security matters. The council's portfolio includes defense-related issues such as the defense budget, defense policy, research and development, the defense industrial base, and the aerospace workforce. The council also handles issues ranging from military aviation to homeland security/defense issues. The Civil Aviation division addresses common, non-competitive domestic and international civil aviation issues. The division is guided by the Civil Aviation Council, which interacts with the Association's committees on aircraft noise and emissions, aviation security, aviation regulations and safety, air traffic management, research and development, and commercial customer support. It also serves as a link to other aviation associations and to safety agencies around the world. The Civil Aviation Division's activities are aligned with three primary objectives: promote global competitive trade, support transformational aviation initiatives, and revitalize the environment for research and innovation in the United States. Activities on global competitive trade involve advocacy for a fair and unbiased international regulatory framework and fair market access internationally. THE SPACE DIVISION PROVIDES CONGRESS, FEDERAL AGENCIES, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WITH GUIDANCE ON DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL SPACE ISSUES. IT ALSO FACILITATES DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE SPACE INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENT DECISION MAKERS TO STRATEGICALLY ADDRESS CRITICAL ISSUES SUCH AS THE HEALTH AND COMPETITIVENESS OF THE U.S. SPACE INDUSTRY, STATE OF SPACE SYSTEM ACQUISITIONS, AND THE INTEGRAL ROLE SPACE-BASED ASSETS BEAR ON THE NATION'S INFRASTRUCTURE AND NATIONAL SECURITY. 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 74 0 1 66 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 X 76 75 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 VA X GINETTE COLOT 7033581000 1000 WILSON BOULEVARD NO 1700 ARLINGTON VA 222093901 Marilyn Hewson Chairman 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Dennis A Muilenburg Vice Chairman 1.50 X X 0 0 0 rory yanchek Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 john schmidt Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 robert smith Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Warren M Boley Jr Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 mark lee Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Eric Roegner Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Blake Larson Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 joseph carleone Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 john langford Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 shane fleming Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 gerard demuro Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Rob Strain Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Roy Goldsmith Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Lance Kwasniewski Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 David Murray Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 robert zesch Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 james callan Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Michael McGuire Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Mark Rosenker Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Charles G Hutter Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 michael barbero Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 douglas J mccrosson Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 brendan curran Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 david adams Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 thomas captain Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 anthony reardon Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Uday Yadav Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 raanan horowitz Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 gary spulak Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Curtis Reusser Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 richard addi Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 steven darson Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 bruce whitman Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 bradley c bourne Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Phebe Novakovic Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 david joyce Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 daniele cagnatel Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 william brown Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 laurans a mendelson Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Nick Stanage Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 tim mahoney Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Mitch Waldman Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 neal keating Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 doug gates Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 michael strianese Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 roger krone Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 dan korte Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 edward auslander Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Lorraine Rienecker Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 christopher j kneizys Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 john costello Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 john scannell Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 meredith siegfried Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 wes bush Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 paul martin Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Roger Sherrard Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 thomas a kennedy PhD Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 dieter moeller Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 robert kelly ortberg Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 kevin sandkuhler Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 mark n sirangelo Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 larry lawson Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 charles M stout Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 scott donnelly Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 jeffry frisby Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 david hess Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 randy snyder Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 thomas gendron Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 anne shybunko-moore Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 David Melcher President & CEO 37.50 X X 435367 0 0 Marion Blakey Former President & CEO 37.50 X X 477671 0 14071 Robert Durbin Chief Operating Officer 37.50 X 185292 0 0 Ginette Colot Chief Financial Office 37.40 X 273707 0 11846 Donald Forest Former Chief Operating Officer 37.50 X 214431 0 19377 Ali Bahrami Vice President, Civil Aviation 37.50 X 296854 0 8229 Saravanan Shanmuganathan Vice President, International Affairs 37.50 X 217097 0 32022 Frank Slazer Vice President, Space Systems 37.50 X 220895 0 34186 Richard Efford Assist.

AT THE FLY-OFFS, 20 TEAMS WILL BE INVITED TO MAKE A SECOND FLIGHT AT THE LAST FLIGHT ROUND OF THE DAY, BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THEIR FIRST FLIGHTS. CASH PRIZES, WHICH ARE AWARDED TO THE TOP TEN PLACES, WILL BE AWARDED ONLY TO THOSE TEAMS THAT MAKE A SECOND FULLY QUALIFIED FLIGHT. IN THIS FINAL ROUND, ROCKETS WHICH HAVE ISSUES WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE RATE A REPLACEMENT FLIGHT UNDER TEAM AMERICA ROCKETRY CONTEST RULES #7 OR #9 WILL NOT RECEIVE A REPLACEMENT FLIGHT. THE TOP TEN FINAL PLACES WILL BE RANKED ON THE BASIS OF THE SUM OF THE SCORES FROM THE TWO QUALIFIED FLIGHTS MADE AT THE FLY-OFFS. PLACES ELEVEN UP TO ONE HUNDRED WILL BE AWARDED TO THE REMAINING TEAMS BASED ON THE SCORES FROM THEIR FIRST FLIGHT. TIES WILL RESULT IN POOLING AND EVEN SPLITTING OF THE PRIZES FOR THE AFFECTED PLACE(S) -- FOR EXAMPLE, A TWO-WAY TIE FOR 2ND PLACE WOULD RESULT IN A MERGER AND EVEN DIVISION OF THE PRIZES FOR 2ND AND 3RD PLACES. AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MAKE ALL LAST AND FINAL CONTEST DETERMINATIONS. DURATION SCORING SCORES SHALL BE BASED ON TOTAL FLIGHT DURECTION OF THE PORTION OF THE ROCKET CONTAINING THE EGG, MEASURED FROM FIST MOTION AT LIFTOFF FROM THE LAUNCH PAD UNTIL THE MOMENT OF LANDING OR UNTIL THE ROCKET CAN NO LONGER BE SEEN DUE TO DISTANCE OR TO AN OBSTACLE. TIMES MUST BE MEASURED INDEPENDENTLY BY TWO PEOPLE NOT ON THE TEAM, ONE OF WHOM IS THE OFFICIAL NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ROCKETRY-MEMBER ADULT OBSERVER, USING SEPARATE ELECTRONIC STOPWATCHES ACCURATE TO 0.01 SECONDS. THE OFFICIAL DURATION WILL BE THE AVERAGE OF THE TWO TIMES, ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST 0.01 SECOND. IF ONE STOPWATCH MALFUNCTIONS, THE REMAINING SINGLE TIME WILL BE USED. DURATION SCORES WILL BE COMPUTED BY TAKING THE ABSOLUTE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 45 SECONDS AND THE MEASURED AVERAGE FLIGHT DURATION TO THE NEAREST 1/100 SCONED (THIS DIFFERENCE IS ALWAYS A POSITIVE NUMBER, OR ZERO), AND MULTIPLYING THIS BY 2. ALTITUDE SCORING: ROCKETS MUST CONTAIN THE COMMERCIAL ELECTRONIC ALTIMETER (PERFECTFLITE MODEL ALT 15K OR ALT 15K REV 2) APPROVED FOR USE IN THE TEAM AMERICA EVENT, IN A COMPARTMENT THAT IS PROPERLY VENTED TO THE ATMOSPHERE. THE ALTIMETER MUST BE INSPECTED BY AN NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ROCKETRY OFFICIAL BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE FLIGHT, AND MAY NOT BE MODIFIED IN ANY MANNER. THE ALTIMETER MUST BE CONFIRMED BY THIS OFFICIAL TO HAVE RESET TO ZERO BEFORE FLIGHT. THE ALTITUDE OF THE PORTION OF THE ROCKET CONTAINING THE EGG, AS RECORDED BY THIS ALTIMETER, WILL BE THE SOLE BASIS FOR JUDGING THE ALTITUDE SCORE. THE SCORE WILL BE THE ABSOLUTE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 750 FEET AND THE ALTIMETER-REPORTED ALTITUDE IN FEET (THIS DIFFERENCE IS ALWAYS A POSITIVE NUMBER, OR ZERO).
