Be advised the Kennedy Space Center is an active launch range. NASA mission / security requirements may change deadlines without prior notice. You are encouraged to put a second set of eyes when reviewing all your work items prior to submission. If you have an issue communicating with Lunabotics now (to ksc-robotic-mining-competition@mail.nasa.gov), tomorrow will be too late. Do not wait until the day before or day of a deadline to upload your files to allow for delays, errors, computer/system lockouts, etc.
