Snakattak: /* Cold Start Procedures */

'''Cold Starting''' is a term used to refer to the act of using the [[Fuel cell]] or [[Battery]] to heat up the [[Reactor]] so that it may be able to start reactions to produce energy. The steps to cold starting in the software are below.

The [[ORBIT]] [[Engineering]] software gives the option to cold start or hot start at run-time where the hot start option puts the software in the state it would be in after a successful cold start.

==Cold Start Races==

Shortly after the development of the Engineering Software, members began competing to see who could cold start the Habitat the most quickly. Strategies included running the Fuel Cell to dangerously high temperatures and charging the reactor containment to less than the nominal 2000As.

Through these competitions, many tricks to running engineering were discovered. For example, the Fuel Cell will radiate heat away much more quickly at higher Temperatures, in accordance with normal physics.

'''Mersereau 2012 A''' is a rogue planet, discovered by [[Alex Mersereau]]. It is most likely an extra solar object.

==Spacesim Missions==
OCESS has conducted to Jupiter's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_point Lagrange points] to conduct studies on this object, including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax parallax] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueshift blueshift] measurements. The [[2013]] mission had M-2012-A as the main destination.

==Spacesim Findings==
===Parallax===
A mission is currently being conducted to place an observation post in Jupiter's L2 point. Once this has been completed, parallax observations may be made

===Blue-shift===
Calculations are currently being performed on Mersereau 2012 A to determine its blueshift, using the [[AYSE]] telescope

'''FIDO''' or the Flight Dynamics Office in Mission Control refers to the mission controller who monitors the mirror software. The FIDO officer must monitor the orbital path and or flight path of the Hawking III spacecraft, and, if needed, run simulations to provide astronauts with increased trajectory information.

GUIDO

Snakattak:

'''GUIDO''' is the officer in [[Mission Control]] responsible for observing the flight path of the [[Habitat]] and offering suggestions to keep the Habitat from crashing while in flight. The GUIDO software receives telemetry data from the main orbit program and displays it along with a topographical map of a selected planet. The GUIDO program also is responsible for selecting landing destinations (which appear as "TARGET" in the main orbit program.
