 This program consists of a "tour of the Solar System". In this program, the participants are given a "galactic passport", and will visit various "stations", each with an interactive activity which will teach the participant about a planet. This is essentially an elaborate "Pit Demo", with lots more detail and information added, but the terms "Pit Demo", and "Galactic Tour" can be, and often are used in conjunction, and mean essentially the same thing.

-Here the presenters teach the participants about meteor impacts. There is a large container of flour, representing the mantle of a planet, with a top layer of coca powder to simulate the crust of the planet. The participants are welcome to throw various objects into the bin, which will simulate a meteorite strike accurately.

 During EEPs, students from various elementary schools would visit Spacesim's facility where they spend either half of or a whole day learning about space in various interactive ways, not limited to stations, contrary to popular belief.

Commander Storey cites the loss of a number of EEPs instructional binders and the fact that information about space science is readily available on the internet as the two main reasons in favor of not restarting EEPs.

-Here the participants get to design their own satellite, using a list of pre-determined parts. It is up to them to define the satellite's purpose, and provide market data that will prove the satellite's worth. The satellites are then judged, and the group with the most profitable design will be declared the winner. The intent of this is to teach the participants the basics of designing for profitablilty, and the concept of supply and demand.

The half-day programs are Cosmic Sciences and Galactic Tours. Until the OCDSB ruled out the practice of [[mini-missions]], OCESS generally charged $175 for each full day, but the costs were flexible for long-haul missions.

	The '''EEP (Elementary Educational Program)''' is a now-defunct program whereby Spacesim taught elementary level students from across the city about space and space sciences. This program, which was run by EEP commanders, reached out to inform people within the area of the existance of Spacesim, to provide income, and to educate young people about space and space sciences.
