[[Image:Lianna_Teeter.JPG|left|frame|Lianna Teeter is the Immortal Space Pirate, shown here practicing her martial prowess.]]The Immortal Space Pirate incident occurred on the [[2006-07]] [[revenge mission]] when honorary member Lianna Teeter stowed away aboard the [[habitat]] and added much to the havoc already occurring.

==Kill Count==

Lianna's kill count is unknown, but she claims to have ended both acting-cosmonaut [[James Cooper]] and acting space-ghost [[Cheyenne Carty]] as well as several others. Unfortunately, the medallion that seems to grant her immortality seems to have had a diminished effect on other passengers of the Habitat, reviving them from fatal injuries. This has put a large dent in any kill claims that Lianna might make.
She also adds evidence to the rumors that Commander [[Stefan DeYoung]] is at least partially blind, due to the fact that, after almost stepping on her feet, and looking straight at her weapons stockpile, he pronounce the habitat clear of weapons.
She can now be found drifting in space, unable to die, the last survivor of the deadman's switch that the late acting-cosmonaut [[James Cooper]] set off after his return from the dead, and subsequent re-killing.

OCESS

2007-01-21T15:37:24Z

Foo1: /* Current status */ updates

==The Name==

The acronym for the full name of Spacesim. OCESS stands for Ottawa Carleton Educational Space Simulation. The name was changed from OBESS (Ottawa Board of Education Space Simulation) in 1998; when the [[Ottawa Board of Education]] was amalgamated with the Carleton Board of Education in 1998 to form the Otawa-Carleton District School Board, it was decided that the OBESS should change its name. At a lunch-time meeting, there was some name discussion and a vote was taken. It was decided to call the group the "Ottawa-Carleton Educational Space Simulation" ([[OCESS]]). The reasoning is that this new name encompasses the new board and keeps "Education" in our name. Furthermore, we had a nice logo for the OBESS and frankly everyone had better things to do (like prepare for the mission) than come up with a new logo -- so we just changed one letter.

==Description==

The OCESS or "Space Sim" as it is commonly called, is a student run program based at [http://www.Lisgar.ca Lisgar Collegiate Institute]. Currently run by [[Admiral]] Magwood, the OCESS includes members from all grades and is dedicated to educating its members and others about space sciences and space exploration.

Spacesim has traditionally followed [[The Golden Rule]] as its motto.

==Re-Branding==
In the 2001-2002 year, OCESS underwent some rebranding. Efforts were made to change the feeling of the group from a student club over to a non-profit organization. This effort met mixed results, but are most evident in the more professional [http://www.spacesim.org website] and the new [[logo]].

===Mission Statement===
During the Rebranding, Spacesim picked up the following mission statement:

'''<blockquote>The Ottawa Carleton Educational Space Simulation is a Student-Run, Non-Profit Organization Geared Towards Educating Youth about Space And Space Science Through Fun and Interactive Means.</blockquote>'''

==Current status==

Currently, Space Sim is run by Co-commanders Brian Foo, and Stefan De Young under the supervision of Admiral Magwood. The current membership stands at about roughly 20 to 25 members and they have hosted one planetarium to date, this year.

==Programs==
*See [[Education]] for main article

Space Sim offers two educational programs, [[EEP]] and [[Planetarium]] to educate other students, both within Lisgar and without. These programs have been largely successfull in the past, though their demand has been steadily dropping due to lack of publicity. For its own members, Spacesim launches one 5-day simulated [[mission]], as well as several smaller "training missions" per year. These, along with the maintanance and preperation activities carried out by all Space Sim members, educates them not only about space, but allows them to both learn and apply scientific concepts. Spacesim could change its name to "The SpaceSim and Engineering Club" without changing any of its inner workings!

Space Sim also offers its [[Galileo Chellenge]] to students of [[Lisgar]] and. recently, to students from other schools. With prized donated from [http://www.drsa.ca/ Deep Science Accademy], [http://www.utoronto.ca/ University of Toronto], [http://www.carleton.ca/ Carleton University] and [http://www.ibm.com/us/ IBM], we hope that this year's [[Galileo Challenge]] will be both educational and profitable for both ourselves, and for our participants.

Space Sim is looking to restart its [[Summer Camp]] program by summer [[2006-2007]]. It is looking either at forming a private company or a non-profit approach. Space Sim is also looking, over the course of several years, offer spacesim as a cirriculum course, much like outdoor education. Both of these proposals are [[long-term projects]] and will require a lot of work.

Junkyard

2007-01-21T15:35:57Z

Foo1:

'''The Junkyard''' is the location under the [[Simulator]] staircase at our [[440 Albert]] facility. This has long been considered a home for old monitors, computers and other stuff that sim members cannot find uses for, but yet cannot bear to throw away. At the start of the year [[2005-06]], members of Spacesim located the sim archives hidden in the junkyard, as well as the remains of [[Robbie the robot]].

The junkyard holds great historical value for the simulators, as it is where their tools of the trade are stored. This is due mainly to the junkyard's close proximity to the simulator area, and their natural laziness. However, there are plans to reorganize the area into a functional storage area for surplus computers and other hardware.

==History==
In the past, this region was refered to as the '''Graveyard'''. It is currently unknown when the name shifted.

United States

2007-01-21T15:33:17Z

Foo1: spelling

The United States is a large country to the south of Canada, which is the country of residence for the [[OCESS]]. It was the origin of the Student Space Simulation programs that popped up around the world in the late 80's. [[Spacesim]] used to run an [[exchange program]] with students from the United States until they discontinued their simulation programs.

The United States is also a leading power in Space Exploration.

Foo1:

'''EECOM''' is a station in both the [[Habitat]] and [[Mission Control]]. The purpose of EECOM is to monitor the environmental data for the habitat, and to perform such operations as venting or pressurizing modules, scrubbing carbon dioxide, or adding oxygen. The Mission Control EECOM station is the only one capable of opening doors.

Mission Patch

2006-12-11T21:14:37Z

Foo1: category

[[Category:Mission]]

Every year, the members of Space Sim design a unique mission badge to commemerate the completion of the [[mission]], much like NASA does. These mission badges are usualy sewn onto the flight suits of the [[astronauts]] who accomplished the [[mission]]. There has been a tradition of keeping a copy of the year's mission badge in a glass case in the [[office]], although this case is easily broken. Though Spacesim has not made a mission badge for the last several years, they have revived the idea this year with great success.

===Patch vs. Badge===
Officially it is referred to as a ''Mission Patch'' but the [[2005-06]] year began referred to it informally as a ''Mission Badge'' or simply ''Badge.''

Foo1: added myself ^^

There are many ways of contacting Spacesim, both in person or electronically.

==In Person==

Spacesim meets weekly at Friday lunches in room 415 on the [[Science Floor]]. New members are always welcome and members will be present and willing to talk if needed. There are also messages and updates posted outside the [[Office]], and there will usually be several members inside the office at any given lunch hour.

Spacesim also meets weekly after school at our [[Ottawa Tech]] facilities. These work sessions last from about 3 to 9 PM and are also a place where you can contact Spacesim in person.

Prometheus 2006

{{expandarticle}}

[[Category: Old Missions]]

Mission Prometheus was the Space Simulation's mission to Titan, and was scheduled for take-off on February 28th, 2006 and splashdown return March 4th, 2006.

==Mission Purpose==

The primary purpose of this mission will be to test if life exists, could exist, or has existed on Titan. This will be carried out by first testing for the presence of various organic compounds needed for life, and/or exclusively produced as a byproduct of life (see "proposed experiments"), and ultimately, to test for life on Titan.

==Proposed Experiments==
{{main|Mission Prometheus Experiments}}

Another experiment that was proposed (although the [[astronauts]] planned to bypass it with a granola bar cartel) is to have the astronauts become self-sufficient by growing their own [[duck weed]] from their grey water, and living off that for the last half of the mission.

==Data on Titan==
{{main|Titan}}

Titan is one of the moons orbiting [[Saturn]]. It is fairly large for a moon, and is comparable in size to some of the inner terrestrial planets. it's atmosphere is composed mostly of N2 gas. What really interests the scientists, and our astronauts is Titan's mantle. It is widely accepted that Titan has a mantle not of molten rock, but of liquid water - one of the most vital elements needed for life.

==Astronauts==

The Astronauts for this mission were:

Stephen Smith, [[Habitat Commander]]

Johnathan Scothorn [[pilot]]

Steven Mair [[pilot]]

Stefan Deyoung [[electrician]]

Brian Foo [[Payload Specialist]]

Nevin Hotson [[Able Crewmen|Able Crewman]]

==Mission Results==

We have life!

The experiments for the mission have been concluded, and alhough a formal report is still being generated, the [[Payload Specialist]] has been able to draw many conclusions about the prospects of life on Titan. We have been able to confirm the presence of nitrates, ammoniates, carbohydrates (sugars) and lipids (fats) on the surface of Titan. The presence of these complex organic molecules points towards the existance of life. Further evidence was obtained when sealed samples of liquid from Titan fermented and produced copious ammounts of alcohol. This behavior was observed in several samples, and rules out any possibility of this being an isolated case of contamination.

Health Officer

2006-10-02T03:02:19Z

Foo1: fixed links

The health officer is the astronaut assigned to monitor the health on the crew of the habitat and conduct [[experiments]] on the pyschological and physical impact of space travel. Since saftey is paramount on a space mission, the health officer usualy has command over the other astronauts not including the [[Mission Commander]] and the [[Habitat Commander]].

Mission Alpha

2006-10-02T02:59:40Z

Foo1: /* Mini-Missions */ fixed link

A '''Mission Alpha''' is a dry run for the year's [[Mission|Main Mission]]. This year's Mission Alpha was [[Daedalus]]. Its destination was Venus.

==Historical==
Missions Alpha were typically run about 1 month before the actual mission, lasting about 4–6 hours in duration. The purpose was to test
out all equipment, and discover any problems or areas lacking proper planning. It also was an excellent opportunity to test the level
of training for both [[Astronauts]] and [[Mission Control]] staff. This practice was first started by Mission Commanders [[Daniel Kekez]] and [[Jamie Rosen]] for the [[1997-98|Jupiter 1998 mission]].

In the 2001–2002 year, a [[Mission Beta]] was run. The Mission Alpha occured while the [[Habitat]] was still under construction, and as such a second dry run was needed closer to the mission date.

==Mini-Missions==
Mini-missions were historically an [[Elementary Education Program|EEP]] activity for older classes. In recent years, Space Sim has taken to calling the dry-runs [[Training Mission]] instead of ''Mission Alpha''.

''Note: This article is an Auto-biography.''

Alex Foo joined the ranks of the [[OCESS]] in the closing days of [[2004-05]] for "various reasons", which certain members of Spacesim enjoy mentioning whenever one of them walks into the room. He has grown to enjoy spacesim very much, and is commited to improving the club. He has participated in every [[EEP]] and [[Planetarium]] he possibly can, as well as the organization of several [[OCESS]] projects such as the [[Galileo Challenge]] and the [[Summer Camp]]. He is also a major contributer to the [[Forum]], as well as the main contributor to the [www.wiki.spacesim.org wiki project]: contributing numerous articles in the [[Habitat Systems]] project.

Alex has acted as a [[Simulator]] for the [[2005-06]] mission to [[Titan]]. His future as a simulator is considered a state secret.

Alex is cureently [[Planetarium Commander]]

Outside of [[OCESS]], Alex builds plastic models, chats on the computer, watches sci-fi and generaly participates in a mixed variety of nerd activities.

[[Category: Mission]]

Training Missions, or Gamma Misisons are small, return-on-same-day missions. These missions are meant to train [[OCESS]] members, both new and old, how to conduct a space [[Mission]], as well as offer new members a chance to experience a space misison first hand.

Training missions also allow members to take on roles which they are not accustomed to. For example, a member who is usualy an [[Astronaut]] might stay in [[Mission Control]] instead, or a member might be able to play the part of a [[Simulator]] for the first time.

Since training missions are, well, training missions, the atmosphere is much more loose and informal than on real [[Mission]], giving new members a chance to experience [[Sim Culture]], as well as bond with other members in a fun environment.

Simulated Missions are considerd "[[Gamma]]", and are thus openly acknowlaged as simulations, unlike "[[Beta]]" missions which are considered real-life missions. In essense, they are simulations of a simulated mission.

Spacesim typicaly holds 2-3 training missions a year. One or two to train new members, and one at the end of the year to let of steam.

[[Category:Mission]]

==Mission Format==

Every year, Spacesim conducts two missions: a mini, or [[Training Mission]] usualy lasting about 4 to 6 hours, and a 96 hour "main mission" to an astral body in the solar system. Candidates for mission destinations have been planets, moons, and even asteroids as the OCESS [[astronauts]] search for their own educational experience in the depths of "space" by conducting experiments, simulated extra-terrestrial/space walks, piloting space vehicles and dealing with various simulated scenarios and problems that may play out over the course of a real space mission such as meteor strikes, ion storms and engine failures.

During the mission, the [[astronauts]] remain inside the [[Habitat]], their only contact with the outside world being through a telephone, radios, webcams, and computers much like a real space mission. It is inside the Hab that they must eat, drink, sleep, play and carry out all life functions. These astronauts usualy miss several days of school to wear flight suits and helmets while the rest of the school wishes they were missing school with them

See [[Space Sim Groups]] for more information

==Mission History==

The first mission in Ottawa took place in 1992. From then until the 2002-2003, missions were 72-hours in duration. In fact, the 2001-2002 mission was originally scheduled to be the first 96-hour mission, but was delayed 24 hours by the Board.

Historically, missions ran from a Thursday to a Sunday, although recent times has seen them move to occupy more of the school week. The mission date was set for February by the [[International Student Space Simulation]] so that all missions would occur simultaneously. This practice continued until arround 1996, at which point, mission date coordination only took place between Ottawa and our sister-mission in [[Lexington]], South Carolina. the South Carolina exchanges ended in the late 90's, but the 2001-2002 mission did involve an exchange with a school from Florida.

Planetary Surface Crew

Foo1: fixed more links

==Function==

The planetary surface crew is a [[Task Force]] that is assigned to decorate the [[Planetary surface]] to simulate the environmnet being visited by the astronauts. They usualy opperate behind closed doors to maintain [[Mission Integrity]] and prevent [[Astronauts]] or [[Mission Control]] staff from viewing the alien environment. The planetary surface crew usualy works in close co-ordination with the [[Simulators]] so as to co-ordinate the landscape and environment with their planned disasters. Since the planetary surface crew members have already seen the alien environment before the mission, they usualy serve as simmulators to maintain mission integrety by preventing and knowlage of the destination planet away from [[Mission Control]].

==Methods==

The planetary surface crew often use paper mache to create landscape and natural objects such as rocks and puddles. Sand is almost always used to cover the floor of the [[Planetary surface]], while colored sheets are hung above the surface to simulate the sky of a planet.

However, the planetary surface crew have used some very creative methods of simulating an alien environment within the confines on 440 Albert Street. Such methods include using [[popcorn]] to simulate snow, and using large fans and subwoofers to simulate wind and earthquakes.

[[Category:Albert Street]]

===Location===

The planetary surface is an empty area next to the [[Habitat]] at our [[440 Albert Street Administrative Centre]] facility. It occupies the area around the [[Habitat]], from the [[Storage Modules]] to the [[Simulator Area]] - spanning about halfway around the [[Habitat]] perimiter. The planetary surface is located next to the door to the [[Mason]] area, and is thus a major source of Space Sim's [[Dust]] problem. The planetary surface can be accessed by the [["This Is Not A Door"]] door, and should not be access during a mission by [[Mission Control]] staff.

The area of the planetary surface can be altered by errecting walls and barriers to partition the area for other uses.

===Purpose===

During redular spacesim opperations (not during the [[mission]]), the planetary surface is used to store miscellanious materials, construction of furnature and other fixtures, and other general uses.

During the [[Mission]], the planetary surface serves to simulate the exterior of the vessel. It is usualy decorated by the [[Planetary Surface Crew]] and [[Simulators]] to ressemble the surface of a planet or asteroid being visited. Usualy, there will be scientific materials on the planetary surface and unique structures for the astronauts to examine.

==Wildlife==

The planetary surface is believed to contain large [[Hab Gnome]] populations, as it's isolation and dust-rich environment is extremely attractive to the gnomes/

Life Support

2006-05-05T19:05:20Z

Foo1: /* Providing Oxygen */

[[Category:Habitat Systems]]
[[Category: Environmental Systems]]

{{Pseudoscience}}

{{WorkInProgress}}

{{Simulation}}

==Purpose==

The ''life support systems'' are designed to maintain a habitable and comfortable environment for the [[Astronauts]] inside the [[Habitat]]. To fulfill this task, the life support system must do several things:

* Provide oxygen
* Remove carbon dioxide
* Maintain a comfortable temperature
* Protect the inhabitants from radiation
* Provide gravity

Since the [[Mission|missions]] undertaken by the [[OCESS]] cover much more distance than those of other space agencies, the environmental systems must be able to keep working for long stretchs of time without need of maintenence or resupply. Also, to minimize weight, these systems must be small and consume the least amount of supplies possible.

==Providing Oxygen==

The life support system obtains its supply of oxygen from the fusion reactor fuel. The fusion reactor aboard the [[AYSE Drive]] uses hydrogen as fuel. This hydrogen is stored in the form of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which is kept under pressure. Unlike water, hydrogen peroxide decomposes naturaly into hydrogen and oxygen without the need for energy-consuming electrolysis. The resulting hydrogen is then fed into the fusion reactor whereas the oxygen is fed into the life support system.

Using this system eliminates the need for the refrigeration, which is needed to store liquid oxygen and hydrogen separately. We also eliminate the need to expend great amounts of energy in breaking up water to provide hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis.

==Removing Carbon Dioxide==

A life support system that provides oxygen is no good unless it can remove the carbon dioxide produces by the human body. Since carbon dioxide scrubbers have too short a lifespan to last the duration of a mission, a new way of removing carbon dioxide was needed. Carbon dioxide is removed by way of a cryogenic scrubber. The air is circulated through pipes chilled by a refrigerant at -78ºC. This causes the carbon dioxide to liquefy while leaving the other gases in a gaseous state. This liquid carbon dioxide is then gathered up and evacuated.

The carbon dioxide gas is disposed of in one of two ways. It can be transformed into methane using the extreme heat of the fusion reactor coolant and some extra hydrogen fuel. This methane is then used to power the puffer jets that maneuver the [[Habitat]]. Alternatively, the gas can be ionized and fed into the plasma drives to provide extra thrust, like an afterburner.

==Temperature Control==

To maintain a constant temperature in space, the habitat is coated with a special white paint. This gives the [[Habitat]] an exceptionally high albedo and reflects about 80% of all heat radiation. To affect the temperature of the [[habitat]] in a more active way, reactor coolant can be pumped through tubes embedded in the habitat walls to provide heat; and refrigerant from the cryogenic carbon dioxide scrubber is used to cool down the [[habitat]] further.

==Radiation Protection==
{{main|Hull construction}}
The [[Hull plating]] of the [[habitat]] can be polarized, thereby repelling most types of radiation. Since polarizing the plating requires a lot of energy, the plating will only be polarized during severe ion storms. Normaly, the habitat walls are sufficiently insulated to stop most radiation.

==Artificial Gravity==
{{main|Artificial Gravity}}
To provide gravity while on its own, the [[habitat]] puts itself in a barrel roll, and the resulting centrifugal force provides enough gravity for the [[astronauts]] to function. While traveling with the [[AYSE Drive]], the constant acceleration provides gravity through the inertia of the astronauts and the habitat.

''Note: This article is an Auto-biography.''

Alex Foo joined the ranks of the [[OCESS]] in the closing days of [[2004-05]] for "various reasons", which certain members of Spacesim enjoy mentioning whenever one of them walks into the room. He has grown to enjoy spacesim very much, and is commited to improving the club. He has participated in every [[EEP]] and [[Planetarium]] he possibly can, as well as the organization of several [[OCESS]] projects such as the [[Galileo Challenge]] and the [[Summer Camp]]. He is also a major contributer to the [[Forum]], as well as the main contributor to the [www.wiki.spacesim.org wiki project]: contributing numerous articles in the [[Habitat Systems]] project.

Alex has acted as a [[Simulator]] for the [[2005-06]] mission to [[Titan]]. His future as a simulator is considered a state secret.

Outside of [[OCESS]], Alex builds plastic models, chats on the computer, watches sci-fi and generaly participates in a mixed variety of nerd activities.

:A general note about the sudden trend towards biographies: May I recommend you guys scrap them, and then write each other's? I think with the way 'Sim is run, letting people write autobiographies is a good way for them to fluff their own feathers, and possibly piss off other people.
