'''Nick Eglin''' joined [[Spacesim]] during his grade 12ish year, though he had attended Spacesim events prior and knew quite a few members. He is known for his facial hair and resemblance to a bear. His wiki and forum usernames are [[User:Exonar|Exonar]]. He is also the [[2010-11]] [[Deputy Education Commander]], a role notable for being completely overshadowed by [[Samuel Baltz]] and [[Samuel's_Proposal_to_Rejuvenate_EEPs|his]] [[Samuel's_Mandate_to_Rejuvenate_EEPs|myriad]] [[Samuel's_Proposal_for_Training_Missions|proposals]].

==Useful Stuff==

*Once made a pretty cool speech about something or other.
*Has awesome facial hair.
*Is trying to rebuild the [[Robbie]] controller to act as a pilot interface.
*Knows more about Star Wars history than real history.
*Writes [[List_of_Music|parody songs]].

For millennia, '''Mars''' has held a fascination over Mankind. The fourth planet from the [[Sol|Sun]], Mars is also the seventh largest planet in the solar system. Its soil has a high amount of iron oxide (rust), giving the planet its characteristic red colour and its nickname: The Red Planet.

The first spacecraft to visit Mars was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariner_4 Mariner 4] in 1965. Several others followed including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_2 Mars 2], the first spacecraft to land on Mars and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_program two Viking landers] in 1976. Ending a long 20 year hiatus, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Pathfinder Mars Pathfinder] landed successfully on 1997 July 4.

==Spacesim Missions==
[[Spacesim]] has visited Mars thrice as a [[main mission]] destination:
*[[Mars 2002]]
*[[Mars 2005]]
*[[2007-08|2008's]] [[Red Dawn]]

==Spacesim Findings==
===Seismic Activity===
[[Red Dawn]] was plagued with terrible [[Earthquakes]] for the duration of their visit to Mars. Due to the short time of their stay, it is unknown whether this seismic activity is typical of Mars or a recent development. Future missions should consider carrying seismology experiments in the future.

For millennia, '''Mars''' has held a fascination over Mankind. The fourth planet from the [[Sol|Sun]], Mars is also the seventh largest planet in the solar system. Its soil has a high amount of iron oxide (rust), giving the planet its characteristic red colour and its nickname: The Red Planet.

The first spacecraft to visit Mars was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariner_4 Mariner 4] in 1965. Several others followed including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_2 Mars 2], the first spacecraft to land on Mars and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_program two Viking landers] in 1976. Ending a long 20 year hiatus, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Pathfinder Mars Pathfinder] landed successfully on 1997 July 4.

==Spacesim Missions==
[[Spacesim]] has visited Mars three times as a [[main mission]] destination:
*[[Mars 2002]]
*[[Mars 2005]]
*[[2007-08|2008's]] [[Red Dawn]]

==Spacesim Findings==
===Seismic Activity===
[[Red Dawn]] was plagued with terrible [[Earthquakes]] for the duration of their visit to Mars. Due to the short time of their stay, it is unknown whether or not this seismic activity is typical of Mars or if it was a recent development. Future missions should consider carrying seismology experiments in the future.

The Mission section would include: the Mission (where and when), Astronauts (names and roles), Exchanges, and Mini/Training mission(s). The Education would include: notable planetariums (it would contain links if an article is too big), and notable EEPS (links if needed). The Events section would contain notable events links (example [[2001 Lock out]], and the [[Space Sim 10th Anniversary]]). The Improvements section would include: notable improvements (links to [[CMES]], [[Doors task force 2005]], etc); and the Lore section would contain links to lore, (e.g.: [[Pink Water]], etc).

The '''2008 Mission to Mars''', or '''Mission Red Dawn''', was the first [[mission]] run using the [[Engineering Closet]] and the new, smaller [[Hotlab]]. Other changes for this mission included:
* A new version of the [[Orbit]] software implementing solid rocket boosters (SRBs) for terrestrial liftoff and a reusable parachute for atmospheric reentry.
* A new, more comfortable [[EVA suit]].

[[Image:Astros_2008.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The Astronauts [[Daisy Wong]], [[Maclean Rouble]], [[Matthew Farkas-Dyck]],[[Nevin Hotson]], [[Anthony Xing]], and [[Ben Paul]]]]
==Experiments==
Experiments were performed on the following subjects:
* effects of fatigue on mental ability
* effects of music on mental ability and heart rate
* effects of distracting stimuli on mental ability
* effects of longterm exposure to the Martian environment on the Viking I lander

Additionally, due to the emergency situation of the loss of 30% of the [[Habitat]]'s water stores, an attempt was made to build a Sabatier reactor to produce additional water using the Martian atmosphere. This experiment was a partial success, as water was produced but could not be retrieved due to extreme weather conditions.

==Notable Events==
* CJOH showed up without RSVPing several hours before launch, and some of the preparations were featured in a news segment on 26 February.
* Launch was only two hours behind schedule, which is believed to be a record for recent OCESS missions.
* All power to the main engines was briefly lost during the initial insertion to Earth orbit; however, the auxiliary power bus functioned properly, and a safe orbit was achieved.
* A total of five scheduled EVAs were performed, as well as several additional EVAs to repair damage and set up the Sabatier reactor.
* A powerful storm on the last night briefly incapacitated Cdr Hotson and Lt Rouble while they were on EVA to collect the water produced by the Sabatier reactor; however, Lt Cdr Xing was able to retrieve them safely.
* Landing at the OCESS facilities in Ottawa was at approximately 1415 EST; initial reentry was over Chicago, which was judged not to be an optimal landing site.

Fuel Cell

2010-03-27T17:37:24Z

Strake:

The '''Fuel Cell''' is a power source of the Habitat, connected to the secondary Habitat power bus, using the same fuel as the main [[Reactor]], though far less efficiently. However, unlike the Reactor, the fuel cell works cold. Therefore the fuel cell is used when the main reactor is off, broken, or malfunctioning, as while [[Cold Starting]] the main Reactor. Since, during flight, the Reactor, not the fuel cell, provides power, it is not fatal to blow a fuel cell after launch, and the [[AYSE drive]] can automatically repair or replace a blown cell.

Scothorn Model

2007-05-12T19:34:21Z

Strake: fixed punctuation error

The '''Scothorn Model''' is a [[currently]] unimplemented proposal to change the way Spacesim's [[Administration]] hierarchy is organized. Specifically, it suggests that the two individuals who act as Spacesim's Club Heads are not necessarily the two [[Mission Commanders]].

==History==
Since its founding, Spacesim has been led by the Mission Commanders. An arguably regrettable result of this is that Spacesim's focus tends towards the [[Mission]] rather than the [[EEP|educational]] side of things. The Scothorn model (which, as the name suggests, was formulated by [[Jonathan Scothorn]] in [[2006-07|2007]]) would ensure that the two Club Heads are those out of the six [[Commanders]] who have the best leadership abilities. One result of this would be that the mission is just as important as the other aspects of Spacesim; another would be that those who wish to be in leadership positions are not required to apply as Mission Commander, but can instead apply for whichever position interests them most.

==The Storey Model==

The Storey Model was a modification to the Scothorn Model proposed by Bryce Storey shortly after the Scothorn Model was brought to table. The Storey Model would have one of each of the branches of Spacesim (Mission, EEPs, and Planetariums) have its own representative as co-head of the club. Thus there would be three co-heads instead of the two proposed in the Scothorn Model.
