OCSS Displays
Take a look at some of the many different materials
that OCSS can bring out to the public. We can adapt our display
to fit any need and venue, as well as any theme or education
level.

(Left) The OCSS display walls and case now have a new
home at the
Tessman Planetarium at Santa Ana College. Both are located
immediately inside the lobby, to the right as you enter. The
case fits very nicely in an alcove, almost as though it were
designed for such a space. The walls follow along the curve of
the lobby's wall and end at the planetarium's donor monument.
Both pieces help brighten up the lobby and provide several
things for visitors to look at and explore as they are waiting
for the planetarium show to begin. On the lobby's wall opposite
our display walls is a literature table set up by the college,
over which hangs a beautiful LCD screen showing fantastic
planetary shows. (Right) A close-up of the contents of
the display case, highlighted by a model of SpaceShipOne. One of
the key components of the display case is signage (seen in
yellow in the upper right) educating visitors on the different
pieces inside and their representative role in the history of
manned spaceflight. |

(Jim Lovell) check out the OCSS display at the IMAX premier of
"Apollo 13." Howard commented about the display after the event:
"That was really something. I didn't know those models existed.
Tom and I were really admiring that. That's great stuff.
Beautiful." (Right) The public gathers around the OCSS
display case in the lobby of the theaters at Universal Studios,
Hollywood, for the IMAX premier of "Apollo 13."

model, several of the Code 3 displays, and a panoramic photo of
Mars. (Right) NASA Educator Don Scott and OCSS President
Larry Evans presented programs at Valley Christian School on

at the school of teacher and member Pam Leestma. In this photo,
students look through a microscope at lunar samples brought back
by Apollo astronauts.

Here are two displays we did at the Rancho Santa Margarita
Library. On the left is our Centennial of Flight display that
ran from November 2003 through January 2004. On the right is a
general space display that ran during March 2003. |
