CapComs Dan Brandenstein (foreground) and Terry Hart monitor STS-1 launch activities from their console in Mission Control. They are sporting the special "STS-1 Ascent CapCom Cue Tie," listing all the callouts Brandenstein would read up to the crew during the launch phase. The text was conveniently printed upside down, so that it could be read by simply glancing down. The callouts were:
Go At 40
Go At Throttle Up
Negative Seats
Go For SRB Sep
Evap is Go
Press For MECO
Negative Return
Go At 5:30
Single Engine Rota
Single Engine Press For MECO
Go At 8:00
Go For Nominal OMS 1 and APU Shutdown.
