XNN: CACE INTERNATIONAL NEWS RELEASE

The Coalition of Anti-Capitalist Economies' Space Agency has announced that the CACE Joint Space Program will now be moving into its second stages, culminating in the construction of a permanent orbital space station. Planning for the project will be centred at the CACESA Conference to be held at the University of Luntse in Xikuang, while extensive astronaut training programs are already underway at established facilities in established facilities off the coast of Celdonia. The CACE Space Station will be home to seven state of the art laboratories and an external observational platform, instituting a new era of possibility in the field of orbital research. Major funding for the project will be provided by Xikuang, Anhierarch, Celdonia, Sacco and Vanzetti, and Hattia, with significant contribution anticipated from Watfordshire, with participation in all aspects of the construction and eventual employment of the research facilities is invited from all interested CACE nations.

Three shuttles designed for long-term repeated use throughout the construction of the CACE Space Station are being constructed in Xikuang, incorporating improvements suggested following the successful return of the first CACE manned space mission. The first of these, already undergoing testing, will have its first missions in the deployment of advanced communications satellites developed by several member nations, and will be piloted by veteran of the previous mission, T'ai Nanhla.

Devoted attention to environmental impact will be paid throughout the many launches that will be required for the deployment of materials and actual construction of the space station, and the construction of research facilities prioritises the external observation platform, from which it will be possible to monitor the environmental effects of the launches from space, is prioritised. Use will be made of several existing launch sites throughout eastern Aperin, including on Derai Island in First Outside, in Muzzlecombe, Watfordshire, and in Sacco and Vanzetti. This will help to allow maximal environmental recovery time between launches and help to minimise damage.

Primary major applications of the space station's research facilities will be in the fields of NSEarth observation, medical and materials science, support for life in space, and fundamental physics, with further uses to be discussed.

Official Statement of the Commonwealth Space Agency

The Commonwealth Space Agency, representing the extra-terrestrial interests of the Socialist Commonwealth of Anhierarch, is indeed proud and manifestly honored to be part of this ambitious venture. The CSA is delighted to continue to play a significant part in the relentless search for knowledge and exploration of the final frontier, and to join our allies in one of the most established alliances dedicated to the emancipation of humanity.

Neglected from the press release: SeOCC will be putting a network of 36 communication satellites in orbit through the grace and generosity of the CACE space missions in question. The satellite's will be linked to the Data Havens, and will allow anyone with a satellite modem to access the absolutely free information stored there.
