The Space Simulation program at Lisgar Collegiate was founded under the name "Ottawa Board of Education Space Simulation" (OBESS).

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, we had a nice logo for the OBESS and frankly everyone had better things to do (like prepare for the mission) than come up with a new logo -- so we just changed one letter.
