After a long hiatus, the Ministry of Aerospace and Aeronautics has resumed their space program, partially scrapped in order to save money. The plan is to launch 6 satellites for military and intelligence purposes, over a 3 week period. Meanwhile, a spaceplane is being designed in order to explore outerspace.

The MV-4 rocket system will carry the satellites into space.

OOC:
Challenger explosion? What does that have to do with my space program? Are you still bitter from the WTI thread? Man, chill out.

And Moleland, I think he follows me around.

OOC Hmm, Have you launched it yet? Cause we just arrived from a different world, so we could be encounted by you first.

Cool, want to make that an RP? The Imperium has just fled our home world, so crossing your nation might be fun. Whatyou say?

(Please contact me through telegram from now on, I don't want my thread cluttered with OOC posts.)

Today is the scheduled launch of the hero space shuttle. First, 4 MV-4 will take up 4 satellites. Then, the hero will be launched. It will continue construction on 2 of the 4 satellites. Reinforcing rods will be put in place.

OOC: These are really weapons satellites, with tungsten rods and lasers. But you don't know that.

OOC:Ahh, yes, tungsten rods, I'm planning on putting one of those up very soon, but I hope you're not gonna try to hit ground targets with the lasers(can't penetrate atmosphere)

The disposal ship of biological and chemical weapons was launched today in the MV-4 LV. The heavily armored ship (in order to protect against debris) will head into the sun once mission planners allow it to fire it's thrusters.

Construction has begun on 3 more spaceplanes. JAMSR wishes to proceed with more missions in space, now that peace has almost been secured in space.
