Requirement

5. Missions. Do TWO

Required

The badge states the choice: discuss two missions, present a current one, or design a sample-return mission.

Notes and warnings

Note. Two of the three. 5(a) is reading and discussion; 5(b) and 5(c) are both things you make, so choosing them together means two projects.
