Cretal Rocket Test a Success

31-10-2003, 18:31
We are pleased to announce the successful launch of a suborbital rocket, the Explorer IV, which reached the ionosphere before plummeting safely to Earth.

Following this success, we announce the start of the Triumph spaceflight program, and hope to have an unmanned rocket, the already-built Triumph I, complete a full Earth orbit. The goal of the Triumph program is to put Cretal's first-ever artificial satellite in space.
