Space Walk: Ottawa-Carleton Educational Space Simulation

Photo: Exploring the caves in Saturn's moon Hyperion.

Come visit the Ottawa Carleton Educational Space Simulation and see what makes a space mission run. Take a tour through the OCESS room at the 440 Albert Street Education Centre and walk through the caves of Saturn's moon Hyperion! From mission control on Earth, to a spaceship speeding between the planets, to the interior of an alien moon: take a walk into outer space and back again.

You can learn more about the 'Spacesim' project here.
