Planatariums, along with EEP make up the educational arm of Space Sim. The goal of planatariums, like EEP is to educate students about space and spread interest in space sciences and space exploration. They also generate revenue for the club so that it may continue to offer such programs.

Unlike EEPS, planatariums only offer one topic, as they are mainly geared towards astronomy. Whereas EEPS attempt to educate students, planatariums try to generate interest in astronomy and the deeper regions of space. For this type of program, we take the planatarium equiptment to the school and set up on their premises. There, we take the students inside the inflatable dome and show them around their night sky, showing them the constelations, their history and the story behind each of them.
