The OCESS Procedure Manual provides a set of guidelines for the actions of the Astronauts and Mission Control during any mission.

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

Alpha-class Emergency 
An incident outside the parameters of the Simulation.
Beta-class emergency 
An incident within the parameters of the Simulation.
AYSE Drive 
The power and engine unit that the Habitat docks with for interplanetary travel.
Mission Control 
The Launch and Flight Operations control centre of the OCESS.
Habitat 
The Hawking II planetary transit and habitation vehicle used by the OCESS.
EVA 
Extra-Vehicular Activity. Consists of space walks and surface excursions.
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.
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.
