Congradulations!

We hope this is a great time for your nation, for ours is as well comissioning ships, yet very different.

The first and currently active shuttle is the CTSS-001 Independence, which has just deployed the CT-SS-01 Space Station Module and returned.

Our next will be announced soon, and we hope the rest of your constuctions go well!
