The Attican Empire launches first Satellite into orbit.
At 3:00PM today, years of secret research finally brought something into fruitation. A Druckerhöher rocket carrying the codenamed Trabant satellite was launched into orbit. This was the first object sent into space (besides ICBMs) by Attica. Authorities say the Trabant is a weather satellite, but there were skeptics (note, WERE).

i like that, "there WERE skeptics" hehe
We congrad you on you achivment, we also will be launching a shuttle into space but ours will be maned and it will launch in 3-4 years.
Two more launches containing sattelites will be launched next year.
But after that launch, your satillite hit a shuttle, I explored on.
"ATA, we have a problem, a rocket from nowhere blinked my eye! AHHH! I cant see..(this pilot is kinda a insane person)..."
"NO NO NO! DONT DO ANYTHING CRAZY!!!!"
"MUST DESTROY THAT ROCKET!!!!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*shuttle transmitter closed*

We welcome you into earth orbit. We cordially invite you to establish a colony in Earth's Moon.
TG me if you want the region password.
Too bad you dont have a shuttle.
WestMoon we are just getting into space.

WestMoon we are just getting into space.
We can provide with the shuttles.
We wish to welcome the new space exploring nation into low earth orbit.
New Whittier is a colony of Whittier. But we are not just a colony. We are mankind's very first city built completely in Space.
We are positioned in low earth orbit and revolve around the earth.
You are welcome to visit but be advised that all weapons are illegal on New Whittier.
Attican Scientists begin decrypting all the strange transmissions the Satellite has been receiving.

Better hope nothing happens to it like what happen to the russian space station.

For the duration of the civil war we operated autonomously as a refuge for scientists and very wealthy Whittierites.
Another satellite, also deemed to be used for weather tracking systems, has been launched into orbit.
In one NS month, a third satellite, a communications satellite, will be launched.
There were (were again) also rumors that Attica was working on a reusable space vehicle (RALRV - Reusable Airospace Launch and Recovery Vehicle).
The communications sattelite was launched.
More rumors WERE heard about the reusable launch vehicle.
West Moon wishes to encourage the new arrival into space on further developing its space potential. We therefore offer to give you nuclear drives. They are a little faster than rockets and are safe to use in space.
OOC: I have to consider whether it is modern tech or future. While nuclear reactors in space ARE possible, are they plausible? The debate continues. Plus, the russian space stations using nuclear reactors are a huge threat now.
Attican Aerospace has announced that it is developing a new generation of space vehicles.
Codenamed "Eins", it is destined to become a next-gen Raumfahrzeug.
