-'''Mini-Missions''' are small, return-on-same-day events. 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 mission first hand. They occur at [[Ottawa Tech]], primarily on Friday nights during a normal [[Work Session]].
+'''Mini-Missions''', sometimes referred to as training missions, are small, return-on-same-day events.

They occur at [[Ottawa Tech]], primarily on Friday nights during a normal [[Work Session]].
 Mini-Missions also allow members to take on roles to which they are not accustomed. For example, a member who is usually 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. However, once the roles for the Main Mission have been decided upon, members primarily practice for their actual roles.

-Mini-missions are one of Spacesim's most impressive activities, and as such can be used to show off parts of Spacesim that are not available during the [[main mission]]. A successful training mission was run on May 7, [[2010-11|2010]], for the Interim Executive Superintendant, a Co-Chair of School Council and the Head of the Alumni Association. In the future this should be repeated  by the [[External Affairs Officer]].

+==Publicity==
-Mini-missions were associated with [[EEPs]], and were usually attended by students between grades seven and nine.

-==Space Camp==
+==Outdated Procedures==
-The idea of mini-missions is similar to that of the culminating mission of [http://www.spacecamp.com/ Space Camp]. Unlike Space Camp, Spacesim has no other simulators.
+Although mini-missions have in the past been much more loose and informal than real missions, so as to give new members a chance to experience [[Sim Culture]], the [[Golden Rule]] and proper CAPCOM procedure are always followed. This allows for optimal training of new recruits who can experience [[Sim Culture]] during any ordinary [[Work Session]].
-==Time Period==
+Previously, mini-missions were considered [[Gamma]] and were openly acknowledged as simulations, unlike "[[Beta]]" missions which were considered real-life missions, but [[current]] [[Training Mission Procedures|procedure]] allows for them to be considered [[Beta]].
-Mini-missions, like [[EEPs]], fell out of grace as early as [[2000-01]] with the move to [[Ottawa Tech]].

-==Terminology==
-Contrary to popular belief, a mini-mission is actually a simulated mission, usually one afternoon or one day long, undergone entirely by those who are not members of Spacesim. Members will commonly confuse a [[Training Mission]] with a Mini-Mission.
