The term '''Engineering''' could either refer to the '''Power Grid Software''' or the person who monitors that software, either aboard the [[Habitat]] or in [[Mission Control]].

The Power Grid Software is one of the simulation programs used by the [[OCESS]]. It was first used in [[2006-07]] for [[Coronis]]. The Power Grid software monitors [[Energy Generation|reactor]] temperature and the status of various onboard circuits and modules. It also controls the current of electricity generated from the power sources and the activation of the radiation shielding, the generator itself, the propulsion systems and the communication systems.

Samuel's and Arrian's ES1 Reprimands

2015-01-21T03:48:37Z

Patrickpowns:

'''Samuel's and Arrian's ES1 Reprimands''' is an in-[[Beta]] document drafted during [[Dragan 2011]] that chronicles the culmination of [[Earth Station 1]]'s eclipsing of [[Mission Control]] during that mission. Written by the Beta Universe personas of [[Samuel Baltz|Lt. Baltz]] and [[Arrian Amir-Rafiei|Lt. LeClaire]], it details an episode in which all six [[astronauts]] were effectively forced to choose between their own [[Alpha]] well-being and [[Mission Integrity]] for an extended period, and was written aboard the [[habitat]] and released here in an effort to warn against similar occurrences in the future. It is heavily biased towards the perspective of the astronauts on that mission, who seek not to blame any [[simulators]] involved but to prevent the endangering of future missions by the current balance of [[Mission-Specific]] power.

Mission Dragan 2011 Official Habitat Reprimands for ES1

Direct any questions to co-authors Lt. Samuel Baltz, Education Commander, Ship Engineer, and LAURA Pilot, and Lt. Arrian LeClaire, Director of Technology and Engineering, Ship Co-Pilot, and Network Engineer

            At 2319 the software intra-hab and inter-hab and MC ceased to function. As unofficial network engineer, Arrian plugged in the t100 network drop to the server that he had previously equipped the habitat with Admiral Doctor Magwood's permission, in less than one minute diagnosed the problem, which was “CASSINI” malfunctioning, removed “CASSINI” from the network, and we all observed the network re-synch. MC confirmed that all the software was synching. This occurred during docking with AYSE, so we proceeded as normal and started to establish an orbit around Jupiter. At 23:22, acting CAPCOM Officer Lt. Baltz was informed that ES1 wanted to contact the habitat. Although he knew the procedures regarding ES1 having direct communication with the hab (there is exactly one earth branch of the OCESS authorized to communicate with the hab: MC), he consented as MC staffers seemed willing to be superceded and were present during the conversation, and after much argument he consented to ES1's adamant demands that acting pilot Lt. LeClaire, currently attempting to establish an orbit, be handed the phone. Lt. LeClaire received the phone call in which he was informed, as per habitat Official Logs- March. 1, Mission Dragan 2323 entry, that the US Defense Secretary was court-martialling him for hacking into computer networks. Although the pilot pointed out that the networks were owned and administrated by an Admiral who had given him permission to do so, and despite his assurance that the mission could not possibly proceed unless he fixed the server, and despite Lt. Baltz's insistence upon returning to CAPCOM that the USDS had no authority over an Ottawa-based organization, ES1 refused to acquiesce.

            The habitat recognizes their error in not asking permission from MC to fix the server software, but it was the only possible recourse to avoid endangering the progress of the mission; not only was the inability to alter the current flight path dangerous to the crew but when MC has no software they are thoroughly useless. An orbit around Jupiter was successfully established. At this point, the longhouse was struck by an asteroid and a hole was created. Lt. Dunbar was sent to the Longhouse and Lt. Cmdr. Frank to the Interlock and they began to conduct an IVA. A hole in the Longhouse was located, the IVA was inconclusive and the materials were insufficient, so another IVA was planned. MC staffers were unaware that this initial IVA ever took place until this document, partially completed, was read to them; the disruption in MC caused by the actions of ES1 disrupted their hierarchy such that they had absolutely no idea what was occurring aboard the habitat, despite the fact that there was probably never more than 3 or 4 seconds of radio silence on CAPCOM.

            Just before the second IVA was set to commence, the EECOM and ENG software were seen to be not updating, and so the
interlock could not be depressurized and the IVA was impossible. Because of this, astronauts who had not slept for up to 15 hours and those who had not eaten a meal for up to 14 hours were forced to wait for the servers in order to eat or access their beds. It quickly became clear that not a single piece of software in MC, C+C or ES1 was functional. At this point Lt. LeClaire assumed the role of CAPCOM officer and asked for permission to fix the server, which he had previously accomplished in less than a single minute. For 13 minutes, Lt. LeClaire was on the phone with ES1 establishing timestamps and useless irrelevant information so that the ES1 employees could firmly establish that the server was in fact down and as to ask permission to fix the problem. They never looked at the server software, rather insisting upon knowing every single timestamp and several values on every possible computer. After 14 minutes on the phone, they demanded the hab reboot their software, which we complied with to no avail, and the two heads of the organization gave permission to the Network Officer to access the server and repair the error. A minute after this, ES1 demanded that they take control of the situation and they recommended that we reboot our computers, which we refused to do as that would not accomplish anything no matter what the server error was. Lt. LeClaire continues to argue with ES1 about receiving permission to access and repair the server. 22 minutes after the initial phone call, Cmdr. Martin and Lt. Baltz give Lt. LeClaire permission to fix the server as it was endangering the habitat. At this point a connection to the server through Lt. LeClaire's netbook known as “GHOST” is made. Authentication with the server fails which leads to only one possible conclusion; ES1 had changed the server password. (See figure 1.0). As a result of this, we are prevented from continuing the mission, and most notably, preventing the sleep-deprived astronauts from going to sleep as the longhouse was depressurized prior to server failure. At this point in time some loud, slightly profane words were shouted in C+C regarding ES1 and their insubordination. At this point in time, CAPCOM was given to Lt. Baltz who then spent 5 minutes bargaining with an ES1 employee as to receive the password to the server as to finally fix the problem. The terms of the agreement were that the HAB had an arbitrary time limit of 10 minutes to access the server to fix the problem. ES1 accepted the demands as well as the demand the Lt. LeClaire writes up a document indicating how to fix the server in the future. 2 minutes later, the password is given to the HAB and Lt. LeClaire attempts to login to the server. The login is successful. Upon login, it is confirmed from the open windows that ES1 hijacked the server by changing the password and also they had changed the background to that of tiled words along the words of, “STOP”. It is also noted that the server software was in fact down due to the efforts of an ES1 employee. The HAB finds this rude given everything that had happened in the past 2 hours. The habitat assumed radio silence as to discuss whether or not to lock out ES1 from the server, but this idea is scraped as to maintain moral high-ground. Lt LeClaire proceeds to fix the software at this point, however, upon opening it he finds that the software had been left in a state far worse then that it was previously left in. This is seen from seemingly random drive letters or blanks in the appropriate boxes as well as a lack of colons, which along with the letter errors caused the server problem to be worse then it originally was. These errors are believed to be caused by an ES1 employee. 3 minutes after access is gained, server issues are seemingly fixed by Lt. LeClaire. Software sync is confirmed with MC, however ES1 refused to sync software for an undisclosed reason. ES1 claims that none of their software is working and asks to speak directly to Cmdr. Martin. The commander adamantly refuses and Lt. Baltz informs them through MC in no uncertain terms that if they talk directly to the habitat then they are rendering MC thoroughly useless as occurred for a period of just over a day during Mission Daedalus 2010, and that they must never reiterate that request. Mr. MP, who spent the entire evening in MC, says: “from the initial failures of the server up until the point where Lt. LeClaire had remapped the drives on the server, MC's purpose had been suppressed and the chain of command was removed. For that duration and all the way until then we had been acting as a router between Earth Station 1 and the Hab's fight for control of mission-critical systems”. It was clear to the habitat that the MC power structure was compromised when Lt. Baltz over CAPCOM heard Mr. Pelletier saying “you're not in charge of me. The Flight Director's in charge of me.” At this point Lt. Baltz insisted on seeing Director Goddard over the cameras, and informed MC with Cmdr. Martin's approval that if there was any reason for them to believe that orders were not coming from Director Goddard the habitat would immediately turn off COM, unplugged cameras and televisions, and retired to the longhouse until 0800 when the admiral was scheduled to return. ES1 finally acquiesces to a system diagnostic. Everything is successful, and Cassini and all the other ES1 computers run. The longhouse vents, an IVA is prepared and the habitat is successfully able to vent the interlock in order to prepare for the IVA. The IVA is successful. However, for the duration of the IVA Lt. Baltz is on CAPCOM with MC attempting to determine whether Hab EECOM is portraying ES1's simulation of what the habitat is like or if it is reading accurate sensor data. For 15 minutes, the Earth Station insists that it is a mock-up of the habitat, so Lt. Baltz, as systems engineer, advises Cmdr. Martin not to allow an IVA because they cannot trust the integrity of the EECOM software as an accurate indicator of habitat conditions. The IVA is delayed for the entire 15 minutes, at the end of which ES1 decides that the distinction between “mock-up” and “accurate sensor data” is that a mock-up is composed of accurate sensor data whereas “accurate sensor data” would be too confusing a way to phrase “accurate sensor data”. The explanation given was that we had traveled back in time, which seemed like a somewhat unlikely explanation when weighed against the notion that the systems were actually doing what they were supposed to do. The habitat is informed that ES1 has been watching a movie for the past 2 hours, which the habitat feels explains a lot.

            IVA is completed, food is being prepared, the majority of the crew has eaten, and most are preparing for bed. However, while the last burger is being prepared, a fuse appears to blow and the all the lights simultaneously fail. The crew is able to turn all of them on one by one expect the interlock lights, which at the time of this writing at 0541 EDT March 2, 2011, are still not functioning, and the outlet beside Kelvin and below Tompson also is non-functional. The crew immediately locates a power bar which it substitutes for the outlet, and requests that MC have ES1 run diagnostics on the lights and power. It is generally understood that ES1 is responsible for handling anything difficult or unusual enough that it isn't worth MC's time to answer or is too obscure or impossible for MC to do. However, when the habitat requested that ES1 run a diagnostic on the lights, ES1 stated, according to one MC operative, “it isn't our job to help”. To the understanding of MC and the Habitat, ES1 is in fact on the OCESS's payroll to help, so the statement is deeply confusing.

            The distrust that has been sown between the habitat and ES1 this mission and the last is far beyond any other animosity that is possibly acceptable in space travel. ES1 is the paragon of incompetence and, in mapping drives to seemingly random places, the habitat can only conclude that they intentionally sabotaged the functionality of the server and then refused to allow anyone to fix it. This abuse of power takes on a whole new dimension when given the perspective that they prevented a group of hungry and tired people from eating, from sleeping, or from leaving a very small, hot, humid room for well over 2 hours.

The '''2012 Mission to Mars''', or '''Mission Red Sun''', was the fourth mission in the [[Hawking III]].

==Mission Purpose==

To provide additional evidence to the ongoing debate as to whether Mars was ever geologically active or any other interesting geological discussions, a team of six astronauts flew to Mars, collected samples, analysed these samples, took photospectro analysis of Phobos and Deimos, and returned to Earth

==Continuity==

*The AYSE drive and the hab were rescued in a prior rescue mission

*The hab has landed near OCESS and AYSE is in orbit, only a few km lower than the ISS

==Astronauts==
* [[Arrian Amir-Rafiei|Arrian LeClaire]] ([[Habitat Commander]])
* [[Matthew Dunbar]] ([[Habitat Sub-Commander]])
* [[Patrick Melanson]] ([[Co-Pilot]])
* [[Max Jeffcott]] ([[Chief Engineer|Chef Engineer]])
* [[Richard Hum]] ([[Medic]])
* [[Noah Slavich]] ([[Able Crewman]])

==Highlights==
*The mission started 12 hours late (an improvement over last year).

'''Mission Magellan 2014''' was a mission to the nearest star system, the Centauri star system. This mission was the first mission to conventionally exit the Sol system. For the previous mission to exit the Sol system, see [[Drake-Sagan 2011]]. The [[Magellan 2014 Logs]] are available on the wiki.

==Astronauts==
* [[Patrick Melanson]] ([[Habitat Commander]])
* [[Alex Mersereau]] ([[Habitat Sub-Commander]])
* [[Spencer Whitehead]] ([[Chief Engineer]])
* [[Wade Theriault]] ([[Pilot]])
* [[Nathan Kelly]] ([[Medic]] [[Laura|LAURA pilot]])
* [[Maxim Billig]] ([[Able Crewman]])

==Mission Purpose==
With new advances in long-term hibernation, it was made possible to travel conventionally to very nearby star systems. For this reason, OCESS sent a scientific expedition to the Alpha Centauri system using the AYSE drive and the Hawking III, crewed by six astronauts. Long-term scientific experiments were set up, as described in the following section on Scientific Experiments.

==Scientific Experiments==
Many scientific observations were taken by the habitat during the mission, especially when landed on [[Alpha Centauri Aa]]. Listed are some of these experiments.

* A low orbit probe was inserted into orbit around [[Alpha Centauri Bb]]. [[Alpha Centauri Bb]] was the first planet that was observed in the Alpha Centauri system from Earth. However, due to the planet's extremely close proximity to its parent star, the orbit of the satellite was very unstable in the long term. Additionally, transmission from this satellite would also be hard to separate from the huge background of the star's emissions. No analysis was performed on this data during the mission week.

* Infrared photography was taken of all five planets in the Alpha Centauri system. Because of this, it was determined that [[Alpha Centauri Aa]] was the only planet with an astmosphere, since the temperature of the surface did not change suddenly at the terminator. Because of this observation, it was decided that the Hawking III would land on this planet.

* A radar scan was performed on [[Alpha Centauri Aa]]. From this, it was determined that the planet was completely covered in water, except for a single, small, solid landing site at coordinates of approximately 0,0.

* An atmospheric probe was sent into Alpha Centauri Aa's atmosphere to determine the composition, pressure, and atmosphere. From this data, it was determined that Alpha Centauri Aa's oceans contained sulphuric acid and water, while its atmosphere contained sulphuric acid, water, and oxygen.

* A seismic probe was sent in a sub-orbital trajectory into Alpha Centauri Aa's surface to determine whether the surface was solid or an ocean. The accelerometer data showed an periodical oscillation in the acceleration of the probe, the magnitude of which decreased exponentially with time. From this, it was determined that the probe landed in a liquid ocean. Coupled with the radar scan, it was concluded that the surface of the planet was almost completely liquid.

* [[Laura]] was placed in the planet's oceans as part of an EVA to determine the composition of the ocean and search for any anomalies. However, by the point in the mission at which this experiment was conducted, it was very likely that active, complex life existed in respectable concentrations near the landing site. Because of this, MC said for the active sonar to not be activated until further notice, as it might scare off (or worse, attract) life. However, the LAURA pilot at the time activated active sonar without officer permission. The exact results of this were not recorded, but the pilot noted that background noise decreased by 50% and more anomalies were detected. Interestingly, these anomalies began to accelerate away from LAURA. The only reasonable (sentient rocks are not reasonable, as they fear nothing) explanation for this is that the additional anomalies were life forms, since they reacted to stimuli and moved independently of everything else. Additionally, samples were also collected by LAURA, and LAURA was later retrieved. Analysis on these samples has not been performed as of the end of the mission week.

==EVAs==
* The initial EVA was conducted as a survey of the surface. It was determined that the immediate area on planet Habsburg had at least one cave, a beach, a pillar, and high cliff walls surrounding the landing site.

These are the logs for the [[Alpha Centauri 2014]] mission. They cover the perspectives of the astros, mc, and the simmies. The MC logs are starting late and are extremely incomplete due to various reasons. The timestamps are different because the logs were taken on different computers, and it will take too much time to make them all follow the same format.

==Mission Purpose==
With new advances in long-term hibernation, it was made possible to travel conventionally to very nearby star systems. For this reason, OCESS sent a scientific expedition to the Alpha Centauri system using the AYSE drive and the Hawking III, crewed by six astronauts. Long-term scientific experiments were set up, as described in the following section on Scientific Experiments.

==Scientific Experiments==
Many scientific observations were taken by the habitat during the mission, especially when landed on [[Alpha Centauri Aa]]. Listed are some of these experiments.

* A low orbit probe was inserted into orbit around [[Alpha Centauri Bb]]. [[Alpha Centauri Bb]] was the first planet that was observed in the Alpha Centauri system from Earth. However, due to the planet's extremely close proximity to its parent star, the orbit of the satellite was very unstable in the long term. Additionally, transmission from this satellite would also be hard to separate from the huge background of the star's emissions. No analysis was performed on this data during the mission week.

* Infrared photography was taken of all five planets in the Alpha Centauri system. Because of this, it was determined that [[Alpha Centauri Aa]] was the only planet with an astmosphere, since the temperature of the surface did not change suddenly at the terminator. Because of this observation, it was decided that the Hawking III would land on this planet.

* A radar scan was performed on [[Alpha Centauri Aa]]. From this, it was determined that the planet was completely covered in water, except for a single, small, solid landing site at coordinates of approximately 0,0.

* An atmospheric probe was sent into Alpha Centauri Aa's atmosphere to determine the composition, pressure, and atmosphere. From this data, it was determined that Alpha Centauri Aa's oceans contained sulphuric acid and water, while its atmosphere contained sulphuric acid, water, and oxygen.

* A seismic probe was sent in a sub-orbital trajectory into Alpha Centauri Aa's surface to determine whether the surface was solid or an ocean. The accelerometer data showed an periodical oscillation in the acceleration of the probe, the magnitude of which decreased exponentially with time. From this, it was determined that the probe landed in a liquid ocean. Coupled with the radar scan, it was concluded that the surface of the planet was almost completely liquid.

* [[Laura]] was placed in the planet's oceans as part of an EVA to determine the composition of the ocean and search for any anomalies. However, by the point in the mission at which this experiment was conducted, it was very likely that active, complex life existed in respectable concentrations near the landing site. Because of this, MC said for the active sonar to not be activated until further notice, as it might scare off (or worse, attract) life. However, the LAURA pilot at the time activated active sonar without officer permission. The exact results of this were not recorded, but the pilot noted that background noise decreased by 50% and more anomalies were detected. Interestingly, these anomalies began to accelerate away from LAURA. The only reasonable (sentient rocks are not reasonable, as they fear nothing) explanation for this is that the additional anomalies were life forms, since they reacted to stimuli and moved independently of everything else. Additionally, samples were also collected by LAURA, and LAURA was later retrieved. Analysis on these samples has not been performed as of the end of the mission week.

'''2013-14''' is the current school year. An ambitious [[Week of Hype]] was launched at the beginning of this year. This year's [[Magellan 2014|mission]] was a test of the long-term hibernation capabilities of the Hawking III, as well as the first conventional journey to another star system. A large influx of grade 9s interested in spacesim as the current senior members are leaving will ensure that the boom/bust cycle of spacesim experience and membership will continue.

I've got that flightsuit on my bod. 
MC is greener than fresh sod. 
Too bad they didn't train so hard. 
But let's go-o-o, let's go! 
Tonight we're hitting Mars, Mars, Ma-Ma-Ma-Mars, 
just like the planet's ours, ours, a-a-a-ours. 
Drag tearing us apart, -part, -pa-pa-pa-part. 
We think we're gonna die. 
We fly how we fly. 
We're using dprt ref, ref, re-re-re-ref. 
You know we lead so def, def, de-de-de-def. 
We're probably so effed, effed, e-e-e-effed. 
MC's gonna cry, 
but we fly how we fly.

MC, turn it up! 
It's about damn time we heard some stuff! 
I'm so sick of holding the phone close up! 
(MMM, THAT’S DISAPPOINTING) I'm serious. 
I'm just so sick of you! 
I'm telling you 'bout the tests we do. 
We're selling cookies, 
sleeping in bunks, 
watching EECOM, 
cleaning up junk (oo, thanks).

Patrickpowns: the capitalisation was too capitalist

'''Welcome to the Ottawa Carleton Educational Space Simulation Wiki.'''

==Introduction==

Commonly known as Spacesim, the [[OCESS]] is a non-profit student-run organisation dedicated to learning and teaching about space, space science, and space exploration.

This Wiki is designed to replace the [[Big Book of Sim]], which was an endeavour to capture the history of Spacesim in an easily readable format. By using the Wiki system, we hope to encourage [[:Category:alumni|alumni]] of Spacesim to drop in and give their two cents' worth on [[Sim History]] and [[Sim Lore]].

Now that the Wiki has some content, it should not be ignored as an important source of information on Spacesim's history, [[:Category:procedures|procedures]], and lore. However, it should not be regarded as static, and in fact, you are all encouraged to add articles about anything remotely related to Spacesim. Don't forget to clean up currently existing articles, and add content to all those that are underwritten.

This is the one way we will be able to preserve the memory of Spacesim forever, so stop procrastinating, and [[:Special:Random|DO]] [[OCE Space Simulation:Community Portal|SOMETHING!]]

For over thirty years, '''Mr. Prichett''' was a teacher at [[Lisgar Collegiate Institute]], where he founded the [[OBESS]].

==Accomplishments==

Though primarily a physics teacher, he was also heavily involved in student activities. He was the teacher advisor of the Student Enrichment Committee, the University Mini-courses administrator, and the Shad Valley International liaison. He was the also the founder of the [[OBESS|Ottawa Board of Education Space Simulation]] and an important member of the [[ISSS]]. In 1996, Mr. Prichett received the Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Teaching of Science, Technology, and Mathematics, primarily due to his contributions to the Space Simulation program.

[[File:Magwood and pritchett.jpg|thumb|[[Jim Magwood]] and [[Terry Pritchett]] at SARP 2013]]

To the Space Simulation members, Mr. Prichett's support was invaluable. He aided his students in many different endeavours, such as the establishment of the [[Elementary Education Program]]s. Without the dedication and enthusiasm that Mr. Prichett provided the [[OCESS]] would have been unable to continue.

Terry Pritchett also received a 1995 [http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/pmate-ppmee.nsf/eng/wz01208.html Certificate of Excellence] from the Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence, in part because of his involvement in Spacesim.

==Flight Suit==
Mr. Pritchett's [[flight suit]] still resides at Spacesim, and is worn regularly by [[training mission]] [[astronaut]]s.

Microwave Reactor

2014-01-22T01:35:19Z

Patrickpowns: QUICK THE WIKI SERVERS ARE EXPLODING

The microwave reactor does not exist. The microwave reactor is the reactor that gives power to the microwave, without which the astronauts would not be able to eat half of their mission food. The microwave reactor is only ever mentioned when it is overheating.

=== Original Conversation ===
(The date is February 2013. The astronauts are on the main mission, and are bored. [[Alex Mersereau]] is [[Chief Engineer]], [[Patrick Melanson]] is bored.)

'''Lt. Melanson:''' Alex, look at that, the microwave reactor is overheating!

:'''Lt. Mersereau:''' ''*looks at ENG*'' There is no microwave reactor.

Henceforth on that mission, "The microwave reactor is exploding!" was used to alleviate periods of boredom by sounding serious enough to get the Engineer to quickly pay attention to his station.

The Golden Rule

2013-11-16T21:46:55Z

Patrickpowns: I accidentally, the, word,

The motto of the [[mission]], '''Nothing goes in or out''', represents all that Spacesim is about: [[mission integrity]], realism of simulation, and suspension of disbelief. Simply put, the [[astronauts]] must believe they are on another planet or moon in the solar system, and receive no external inputs from the real world. Most importantly, nothing may enter or exit the simulation room throughout the mission for any reason barring a real-life emergency. To a lesser extent, this represents the need that the astronauts forget their real lives for a few days, unplug from the Internet and society, and receive all their information exclusively through [[Mission Control]].

==Historical Breaks from '''The Golden Rule'''==

In the past the Golden Rule has been broken, reminding Spacesim why it was put in place. During several missions, class notes were passed through the Powerbox in order to allow astronauts to remain up to date on their class work. Unfortunately, this break from Mission Integrity diminished the effects of the simulation by providing a link between Earth and the Habitat despite the Habitat being several thousand kilometers away.

An even worse break from the Golden Rule was the transference of an X-Box through the Power Box into the Habitat. This essentially ruined the mission by the same method described above, and by sapping attention away from the mission and towards video-games.

During the [[2004-05]] mission to Mars, astronauts [[Jonathan Scothorn]] and [[Stefan De Young]] went on an extended 6+ hour [[EVA]] in order to attend Senior Music Night at [[Lisgar Collegiate Institute]]. Both violinists, they were members of the Lisgar Senior Orchestra and String Ensemble. This breaking of the golden rule is sometimes excused by the fact that both Scothorn and De Young were only added to the roster of astronauts one week prior to the mission, and had no time to negotiate with Mrs. Bradley or Mr. Arrigo.

==Creative Interpretations==

The Golden Rule was broken in the past to provide supplies to the Habitat, that the Astronauts seemed to feel they could not do without. However, as was shown during the [[2006-07]] mission to [[Borrelly]], supplies can obtained without the breaking of Mission Integrity. In essence, the plan was to incorporate the breaking of the Rule into the Mission itself, and to delay the instant gratification factor that the Power Box provided. To that end, the Astronauts sent a list of necessary supplies to Mission Control, which they promised to obtain and send by super-fast rocket towards Borrelly. At the end of the day, a small rubbermaid container was placed on the surface, while the Habitat shook from the "impact." An EVA was conducted to retrieve the payload thus obtaining the necessary supplies while preserving mission integrity. Other solutions, such as the transference of a sixth helmet to the habitat by [[Earth Station 1]] during [[Dragan 2011]], can be excused early in the mission by hiding the helmet in a part of the habitat that the crew has probably not yet ventured to. In that mission, which launched with only 5 helmets due to a mix-up immediately after pre-flight wherein someone removed a helmet from the [[airlock]], the helmet was placed under a pile of [[EVA suits]] by a [[simulator]] sometime after takeoff and the astronauts were told to make sure that they only had 5 helmets by rooting around in the airlock. Because the habitat and mission control had a plausible explanation as to why the astronauts did not notice the helmet before, the Golden Rule was maintained and the problem was solved. The golden rule was also nearly broken on this mission when the astronauts needed to vent their waste water but had only one waste water container available. This was a problem since, to realistically simulate venting of waste, the bottle and the water would have to be removed. Averting the disaster Acting [[Flight Director]] [[Euan Wheaton]] advised the astronauts to make use of on of the [[Water Bottle Preservation Units]] (more commonly referred to as stools) sitting in the kitchen.

Breaker Panel Operation Procedures

2013-10-06T00:43:09Z

Patrickpowns: /* General Procedures */

===BREAKER PANEL OPERATION===
====General Procedures====
Consult with a Tech Specialist or the Resource Director for assistance

====Restoring Power (single module)====
Check the habitat GFCI breaker for the affected module. Press the black trip button then the red reset button. If the habitat GFCI breaker does not trip but the power does not come back on, attempt to determine and remove the cause of the overload. This may include excessive amount of operative electrical devices on one circuit. Contact MC for remote restoration of power at the main breakers.

====Restoring Power (entire habitat)====
If the GFCI breakers have not been tripped, follow [[P4.1.3]] and inform Mission Control of the situation. Mission Control will inform you as to the nature of the emergency and might order [[P4.3.2]].

====Terminating Power====
If the situation permits, shut down all electronics in the module(s) to be powered down. Then trip the GFCI breaker using the black button.

====Repetitive Breaker Tripping====
The circuit is overloaded or potentially damaged. Terminate power to the circuit and remove (unplug) all electronics from the circuit. Follow [[P4.3.2]] and wait If the breaker trips again, the module is to be sealed for the remainder of the mission. Mission Control may order [[P4.1.2]] at the discretion of the Commanders and Tech Director.

Patrickpowns: Adding the mailing list to the to do

'''Welcome to the Ottawa Carleton Educational Space Simulation Wiki.'''

==Hello Alumni!==
SARP was super fun. With all the alumni showing up, we think it would be great if they could add whatever they know about their time in spacesim, as well as a member page for themselves.

To sign up for an account, email [mailto:webmaster@spacesim.org our webmaster] your chosen username, password, and email (if you want to attach your account to your email address) and he will make an account. This procedure is to discourage the Russian spambots from invading the wiki.

Once the wiki account has been created, our brilliant webmaster will also create a forum account for you. The forums are located [http://forums.spacesim.org/ in this part of the internet], however they are down at the moment. This is related to the server outage that happened right before SARP.

Suggestions for things to alumni to do:

* Make an account (Mail [mailto:webmaster@spacesim.org our webmaster] your preferred username and password, and he will make a forum and wiki account)

* Add yourself on the [[List of Members]]

* Make a [[:Category:Members|Members page]]

* Add some [[:Category:Lore|lore]]

* Add yourself to the [[Mailing List]]

==Introduction==

Commonly known as Spacesim, the [[OCESS]] is a non-profit organisation dedicated to learning and teaching about Space, Space Science, and Space Exploration.

This Wiki is designed to replace the [[Big Book of Sim]], which was an endeavour to capture the history of Spacesim in an easily readable format. By using the Wiki system, we hope to encourage [[:Category:alumni|alumni]] of Spacesim to drop in and give their two cents' worth on [[Sim History]] and [[Sim Lore]].

Now that the Wiki has some content, it should not be ignored as an important source of information on Spacesim's history, [[:Category:procedures|procedures]], and lore. However, it should not be regarded as static, and in fact, you are all encouraged to add articles about anything remotely related to Spacesim. Don't forget to clean up currently existing articles, and add content to all those that are underwritten.

This is the one way we will be able to preserve the memory of Spacesim forever, so stop procrastinating, and [[:Special:Random|DO]] [[OCE Space Simulation:Community Portal|SOMETHING!]]
 
Enjoy!

Patrick's Proposal to Standardize Platforms

2013-09-19T11:51:25Z

Patrickpowns:

'''Patrick’s Proposal to Standardize Platforms''', completed during the [[2013-14]] year, was [[Patrick Melanson]]'s fourth official proposal for [[Spacesim]]. The proposal intends to fix the problem of the inconsistent setup of spacesim computers, specifically to make platforms easier to use.

==Patrick’s Proposal to Standardize Platforms==
{{NPOV}}

===Motivations===
At spacesim, we have an excess of computers, but all computers have a slightly different setup. For example, one might have Windows 98, another might have a separate partition for Orbit files, another might have an old version of Orbit, and yet another may have three different folders for Orbit files. All in all, this makes for an inefficient system, as it is unclear as to where any of the files are, what settings should be set, where the server should look for data, and so forth.

A standardized deployment system would be much faster and more efficient, as manually installing Windows on each machine would be unnecessary, as would figuring out where to install Orbit, and any other files required

===Proposal===
#Have a central server which contains all images of all platforms (e.g. Windows 98 image, Windows XP image, Linux image, etc.), and images for the different Orbit software (independent of the OS image).
#Clean up the structure of Orbit releases to make a less cluttered distribution.
#Create a separate partition (D:) which will store all Orbit files. This will ensure that the Orbit files are OS-independent, and can survive OS reinstalls. It will also make it easier to image a very specific set of software, so that (for example) the MC EECOM station will only have the MC EECOM software.
#Create a method by which to update files consistently across all platforms, to ensure that the current system of “C:/new-orbit”, “C:/orbit5”, “C:/orbit5t”, and so forth is avoided.

===Implementation===
To accomplish this, a server capable of cloning and imaging computers must be set up with all the appropriate images, and all appropriate Orbit files. One possible way of doing this is to use a Linux machine (possibly virtual) and run [http://www.fogproject.org/ FOG] on it, then to image computers over the existing network. For every computer, backups will be made of any important files, then the computer completely wiped and the partition table deleted. The C: drive will be imaged with the desired OS, and a new D: partition will be imaged with only the required orbit files.
The update system could simply be a .bat file which checks the current version, then archives the current Orbit files and downloads new ones if necessary.

Talk:Patrick's Proposal to Standardize Platforms

Patrickpowns:

Spot on. Every workplace with multiple terminals maintains a strict and standard database structure. One of the biggest mini-mission and training hurdles is the damn multitude of different versions of all the software. It should all be archived if not wiped. But I would go much further than you. I would stick everything currently on the machines into a folder called "Archives". Then I would create a standard procedure for naming folders -- something involving the current date, probably. I would put all of those into a folder called "Text Files". Creating more folders would be strictly prohibited on pain of having to clean the Sim Office. Whether or not you automate this, I think it really needs to be done and I'm happy to see you're talking about it. 100% Stamp of Approval, plus I'll help when I'm next in town. - [[User:Darth Wombat|Darth Wombat]] ([[User talk:Darth Wombat|talk]]) 04:00, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

:Of course, files that are already on the computer will be archived. I was going to archive them on Kane (as well as on a couple other computers, for redundancy. Maybe even use a RAID array?), then create folders for each computer, noting the date on each, as you said. But then, every computer that I will be imaging (read: all of them) would be completely wiped, its partition table deleted, then re-image with the appropriate OS in the C: partition, then the appropriate version of Orbit in the D: partition. The only files should be a fresh install of Windows, and Orbit in the root directory of D:. --[[User:Patrickpowns|patrickpowns]] ([[User talk:Patrickpowns|talk]]) 11:29, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
