    • The first time you access Launchpad you will get a temporary password from the site, which will be emailed to you.
    • If you don’t have access to the email account of record, you will need to call the Agency Help Desk (1-866-419-6297) to get the temporary password. (This password will be emailed to your work account. In the event you are performing this step before you are on-site, it will be necessary to call the number listed above.)

    • Once you get the temporary password, log in and change it to something you will remember.
  • Activate your account on SATERN.
    • Go to SATERN
