	'''OCESS''', is 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, Spacesim already had a nice logo for the OBESS and designing a new logo was considered to be fairly unimportant; changing only one letter allowed the new logo to be very similar to the old.

 Spacesim offers two educational programs - [[EEP]] and [[Planetarium]] - to educate other students, both within Lisgar and without. These programs have been largely successful in the past, though their demand has been steadily declining 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 preparation activities carried out by all Spacesim members, educates them not only about space, but allows them to both learn and apply scientific concepts. It has been suggested that Spacesim could change its name to "The Spacesim and Engineering Club" without changing any of its inner workings.

 Spacesim also offers its [[Galileo Challenge]] to students of [[Lisgar]] and, since [[2005-06]], to students from other schools.
