Mission Control online

Write the codeEasy 2 stages

Before every launch, the ground software at Mission Control starts up and reports its status. A monitoring program on another computer reads those lines and decides whether everything is fine or someone needs to be woken up.

Programs don't read the way people do. To a machine, Mission control online and Mission Control online are two different lines, and one extra space is enough to raise an alarm. Make the console say exactly what the monitor expects.

The monitor waits for this line:

Mission Control online

Print it with print(). The test compares every character: a capital M and C, one space between the words, and nothing before or after the text.

Print the status line

Match it character for character

When the ground software has started, the monitor expects a short report: the status line, two system checks, a blank line and a closing line.

Telemetry link: OK
Weather feed: OK

Ready for pre-flight checks

An empty print() prints a blank line. Every character still counts: one space after each colon, and OK in capitals.

Report both system checks

Send the whole report exactly
