Tonight we will launch an multipurpose satellite to the orbit. The satellite will be launched using our recently purchased SuperGun-system and rocket assisted shell specifically developed for this. Satellite will be base to TGPS-system, which is system similar to GPS. We felt that we need our own independent global positioning system since the GPS came.
Now the base of the project is almost completed.
Other purpose of the satellite is TV-broadcasting, popular channels here want to expand their market.

This is the beginning of our space program, we are planning to launch more satellites to expand TGPS operating area. A mission to moon has also been considered, but it's too early for that, as developement of orbital rockets is likely to take some time.

We are interested in designs of orbital rockets.

Orbital rockets? For launching craft? Or for tactical purposes? We can easily assist with both. As far as rockets for launching craft goes, we have several. Our Mark IV is similar to the American Saturn V rocket. I'll have to check prices. But we would happily assist you with the plans and designs.

Mainly for launching craft, but tactical purposes aren't out of questiom.
We are very intrested in your Mark IV. We aren't interested in purchasing the rockets themselves, but the design.

May I add that it is innefficient to add rockets to the shels, the Supergun (I sold it to him) is perfectly capable of firing satilites into orbit.

That's quite fine. We no longer have any Mark IV's in existance. But we will go into ours databases and get the design. We shall contact you with the price and the design soon.

Greetings.

We are currently working on a Titan X missile. It is a part of our ongoing Colossus Artillery project.

The Titan X missile is intended to bring GPS and observation satellites into orbit, so they may pinpoint navies for the Colossus computers.
