-- Confederate Aerospace Operations Command --

CAS Independence is currently on her way home as we speak. We here at the CAOC Aerospace Mission Control apologize for lack of communication of the mission at hand. Probelsm of recent have caused concern, yet our staff thought over the situations and either solved it or figured out how to solve it when the Shuttle lands.

Images will now be posted as to the deployment of the space component and many others as possible, for Tulrania wishes all to see the beauty of this magnificent Earth and this wonderful vehicle called the Space Shuttle.

-- CTSS-001 Mission 1, Tulranian Space Station Component Deployment --

In the absence of communication publicly the Confederate Aerospace Administration Board has been busy fixing and assiting the crew of the CTSS-001 Independence with repairs on the outside, while the crew was in suits, and inside, while it was easier.

We are sorry for any inconvenience as we are waiting for word from the shuttle about it's current operation of re-entry to the Earth's atmosphere, heading to the Tulranian Aerospace Center where the landing strip has been built and placed.

Images from the crew of the CTSS-001 Independence will now be displayed for the viewing pleasure of all, since this may be the last time before another launch of the CTSS-001 Independence will occur, mainly because of shuttle problems.
