THE TRAINING PROGRAM

 
The SCTC education and training program is a real-time, live-in, on-site, yearly study format.  Students are immersed in a full time space colony environment, living onboard the simulated space station and remote research bases on the moon and Mars.  Students are working crew members of the facility and receive a “systems education” and training in a hands-on fashion.  Student crew members train in the following three areas (systems) of colony life: GOVERNANCE; HEALTH & WELLNESS; and INFRASTRUCTURE.  In one year each student crew member will do a four month rotation in each of these areas.  Programs are offered from one to four year modules.  Shorter term options are also available but do not lead to certification. 

Full-time, full-term student crew members will become experienced and accomplished in CCI; the Quadra-L’s; and PESECE.  CCI is an index that stands for Collective Colony Intellect.  This index is a measure of a colonies ability to survive in crisis.  It is the number of colonists it takes, selected at random, to solve any crisis to a survivable status.  This is a measure of the success of a students “systems education”.  Having a working knowledge of all the colony systems is essential.

Quadra-L’s stands for Lifelong Leisure Learning Lifestyle.  Student crew members are required to take proctored distance learning courses in their leisure time.  Leisure time learning is essential to maintaining a low CCI index over time.  Students will practice low stress leisure learning so it may become an inevitable lifestyle.

PESECE is the “pesky” problem of long duration space flight which is the Psychological Effects of the Separation from Earth in Confined Environments.  Full-term, two-year and four-year, student crew will gain significant experience with long-term earth separation in confined environments by their participation in real-time missions to the moon and Mars remote research bases while they continue their course work.
