OCESS Procedure Manual

0.0 Guide and Definitions

0.1 General Guide

====0.1.1 General==== This manual may be used for both training and in-mission reference, although it is primarily designed for pre-mission training.

0.2 Definitions

====0.2.1 Alpha-class emergency==== An incident outside of the parameters of the Simulation.

====0.2.2 Beta-class emergency==== An incident within the parameters of the Simulation.

====0.2.3 AYSE Drive==== The power and engine unit that the Habitat docks with for interplanetary travel.

====0.2.4 Mission Control==== The Launch and Flight Operations control centre of the OCESS.

====0.2.5 Habitat==== The Hawking II planetary transit and habitation vehicle used by the OCESS.

====0.2.6 EVA==== Extra-Vehicular Activity. Consists of space walks and surface excursions.

====0.2.7 IVA==== Intra-Vehicular Activity. Consists of moving around the interior of the Habitat in full EVA equipment. This is generally rendered necessary by environmental leaks or depressurization.

====0.2.8 TCS==== The Tachyon Communication System, our faster-than-light communication system; it does not need relays (i.e. TDRS satellites) due to its fundamental nature. Is composed of the TCU (Tachyon Control Unit) and TCER (Tachyon Control Emission and Reception) which are the Habitat and Mission Control devices, respectively. Tachyon collector dishes are used for reception.
