***Phoenix*** is a space station in Martian orbit, owned and operated by Helios Aerospace. It was built out of the former spaceship with the same name, *Phoenix*, and serves as transfer station and main hub for incoming and outgoing traffic from and to the international Happy Valley colony on Mars.

## History

### Former spacecraft

*Main article: Phoenix (spacecraft)*
The former spaceship was originally built out of Earth's first orbital hotel, Polaris, between 1992 and 1994. The spacecraft was used by Helios during the 1994 race to Mars.

### Martian space station

In the late 1990s, the former spaceship transitioned into a permanent space station in Martian orbit.  It was subsequently used as transit station and hub for incoming and outgoing spacecraft, and the Mars-7 colony on the Martian surface.

At some point, the station was upgraded with a second rotational ring, one main docking port at the bow, and two additional docking ports at the stern, all of them designed for docking of bigger spacecraft. It also received more secondary docking points, from the two original MSAM (and former Polaris shuttle) docks to 8 docking ports for the new and larger Hopper transfer shuttles.

The Helios operated *Unity* spacecraft, as well as the asteroid towing craft *Ranger* regularly dock at the station.

## Notes

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 It is currently unknown whether the former ship ever returned to Earth before it became a permanent orbital station, but from the fact they were not able to produce fuel for a return flight after 1995, it can be assumed it did not.
It still raises the question how everyone from the old crew returned, as together with the survivors on Mars, they were over 20 people, too many for one single rescue mission with *Sojourner 2*.

The Outpost

**The Outpost**, originally named **Outpost Tavern** and mostly just called **Outpost**, was a bar in Houston, Clear Lake, close to the Johnson Space Center.

## History

The Outpost was a usual gathering place for NASA employees and astronauts. One of the bartenders well known among the astronauts was Pam Horton.

At some point, Karen Baldwin purchased the Outpost, and ran it for a couple of years. Later on, she sold it off to Sam Cleveland, who wanted to turn it into a franchise.

Eventually, Outpost's popularity grew to the point where they began selling NASA-themed merchandise. Sometime between 1983 and 1992, the Outpost franchise had become international, with branches in New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, and Tokyo.

By 2003, the former Outpost had not only changed ownership again, but also name, theme, and cuisine. After decades being dedicated to the space theme, the diner had become an ordinary Tex-Mex restaurant named Julio's Tex-Mex.

## Behind the scenes

The Outpost was real and served as watering hole for NASA employees since the mid 60ies. However, during the Apollo years, its name was "Fort Terry's The Universal Joint", or short "U-Joint". Only after its owner changed in 1980, it was renamed to "Outpost Tavern".

Occasionally, it became so popular among NASA employees that it was referred to as "Building 99", a place where work could continue, but with a beer in hand. Astronauts and Mission Control operatives popularized "splashdown" parties — rowdy celebrations of successful Moon missions — replete with a steady flow of booze for NASA employees.

When the bar was closed in 2000, a "Save the Outpost" campaign was started, raising enough funding to reopen it with a facelift. The Outpost finally closed the doors for good in 2010.

North Korean capsule

The **North Korean capsule**, formal designation **483PRK1**, is a spacecraft designed by North Korea's space program. It was the first manned spacecraft to land on Mars.

## History

The Soyuz style capsule was launched some weeks before NASA's, Helios', and Roscosmos' spacecrafts in fall 1994 and landed on Mars on February 8, 1995. To everyone's surprise, instead of it being an unmanned probe, it was manned by two North Korean cosmonauts, Lee Jung-Gil and Park Chol. The latter perished upon landing, and Lee became the first human to walk on Mars.

Seven months later during the rescue of Kelly Baldwin, a device necessary for docking needed to be salvaged from the capsule. Believing it to be unmanned Danielle Poole and Grigory Kuznetsov travelled to retrieve it, discovering Lee alive shortly before he was to commit suicide. After a short struggle, he was brought to Happy Valley Base. The abandoned capsule was later used as Danny Stevens's home during his exile after he admitted that he was responsible for the drilling disaster that killed 3 people. Danny would later commit suicide outside the capsule.

W. Pendle

**W. Pendle** was an astronaut with NASA during the 60s to the 80s.

## History

Pendle was part of Project GeminiW in the 60s where he flew with two of its missions.

In 1974, he was part of the backup crew for Apollo 24. During a mission's meeting, he was complaining to his colleague, P. Grush, how it could be possible that he flew with Gemini and was now backing up "a chick, a geezer, and a Korean" (meaning Ellen Wilson, Deke Slayton, and Harrison Liu). He was corrected by Bill Strausser that Harry in fact is of Chinese descent, which he commented with "even better". Grush answered, that back then it was about merit to be part of a mission, but nowadays it would be "about the color of your skin and what's down between your legs".

Pendle was the pilot of Space Shuttle *Discovery* in 1983. In late June, he flew mission STS-83-O, bringing the 4 astronauts of the Jamestown 89 mission to the Moon, including Tracy Stevens, and taking the crew of Jamestown 83 back home.

Sylvie Kaplan

**Sylvie Kaplan** was a NASA astronaut and part of the Sojourner mission to Mars.

## History

During the *Mars-94* rescue operation, Sylvie was outside the spacecraft and filming the other ship's LH2 valves, so that the ground crew in Houston could possibly determine a way to tranfer the fuel to *Sojourner*. However, when a LH2 tank on *Mars-94* ruptured, causing the Soviet spacecraft to collide with *Sojourner*, Sylvie was not able to free herself from her tether and was crushed by the oncoming ship.

She is one of the two *Sojourner 1* astronauts who died during the rescue operation, the other being Clarke Halladay.

Unity

***Unity*** is a new type of spacecraft for interplanetary space travel developed, built, and operated by Helios Aerospace. It features a revolutionary new engine type, making it the fastest spaceship of its time.

## History

*Unity* was introduced and first launched in 1999 and immediately set a new speed record for the travel from Earth to Mars. At an economic technology summit, Helios CEO Richard Hilliard called their new plasma propulsion technology a "Game Changer", and announced the beginning of a new era for interplanetary spaceflight. Helios also announced to build a second plasma powered ship by the end of the year.

The new opportunities of the large and powerful ship helped the newly founded Mars-7 Alliance to rapidly expand their international Happy Valley base, shifting it to a large colony with astronauts and space workers from all over the world.

In 2003, NASA astronaut Danielle Poole boarded *Unity* to take over the command of Happy Valley, after the former commander, Colonel George Peters, was relieved of duty due to the Kronos tragedy, and after she was urged to do so by NASA administrator Eli Hobson. Also aboard the ship was former oil rig worker and new Helios space worker Miles Dale.

## Technical details

Helios' new engine is using a nuclear fusion reactor to produce super heated plasma, which is then expelled to create thrust. This revolutionary new technique makes it possible for the ship to reach a velocity of over 161,000 km/h (100,000 mph), which enables it to reach Mars in only 31 days, three times less then the former speed record holder *Sojourner 3*. It also makes the traditional Mars launch windows obsolete, as *Unity* is fast enough to be launched also outside those windows.

*Unity* also heralds a new era of comfortable space travel. The ship features private cabins, zero-gravity showers, community areas, and exercise facilities.

Zvezda

**Zvezda** is the base of the Soviet Union on the Moon. It is located near the rim of the Shackleton Crater, about 13 km from the American base Jamestown.

## History

Zvezda was founded in 1974, about 10 months after the US base, and became the second outpost established by humanity on the Moon. The contents and mission of Zvezda are mostly unknown, although it's known it underwent an expansion in the year 1980.[*Citation needed*]

In 1983, Soviet cosmonauts captured the US claimed mining site 357 Bravo and used it to collect materials for their own. The site was taken back by US Moon Marines a couple of months later.

In fall 1983, during the Jamestown crisis, Soviet cosmonauts attacked the US base, almost causing a meltdown of Jamestown's nuclear reactor.

Space station

Space station Polaris above Earth

A **Space Station** is a spacecraft capable of supporting a human crew in orbit for an extended period of time unlike craft intended to be launched and landed on another planetary body, serving as a space-based habitat and/or as supply and research stations.

## History

The first space stations were launched by the United States of America and the Soviet Union and included NASA's Skylab, but the general increase in technology and reduction in cost to orbit caused by the superpowers' space programs and supported by a global Space Boom meant, that by the mid-1980s nearly a dozen smaller nations, including Japan, China, Turkey and numerous European nations, were able to launch their own space stations into low earth orbit, with India joining them in 1986.

Privately funded space stations would follow with Polaris Space Tours opening its orbital hotel in 1992.

Yvonne

**Yvonne Baldwin** was the second wife of Ed Baldwin. They married some time in 1991. However, they split up again less than a year later already.

## History

Yvonne came with Ed to Danny and Amber Stevens's wedding on the orbital hotel Polaris on July 17th, 1992. She had lots of fun and was dancing at the wedding party, but Ed wanted to leave early. Yvonne wanted to stay and returned to the dance floor, but when Ed seemed to become annoyed she left with him. Later in their room, they had a dispute.

Soon after, when Ed was telling his daughter Kelly about his assignment for NASA's Mars mission in 1996, he mentioned to her that they will split up again. Kelly called it "a new record", as their marriage lasted less than a year. Little later, Ed wasn't wearing his wedding ring anymore.

> Timur Avilov, in Season 4, Episode 9, "Brazil"

**Timur Vladimirovitch Avilov** is a KGB agent who is undercover as a Helios worker at Happy Valley in 2003.

## History

Timur was at the meeting of other Helios workers where they started to to discuss unionization in July 2003.

After Happy Valley commander Danielle Poole discovers major theft taking place on the base, namely communication equipment that could only be used to communicate with a spacecraft. Roscosmos director Irina Morozova in conjunction with NASA administrator Eli Hobson authorise the use of CIA and KGB assets on the base.

Danielle is surprised to find that these assets are NASA enginer Mike Bishop and Timur. She remarks that Timur had been vocal during the strike, but he dismisses it by stating that an operative must move amongst the people like fish in the sea. She gives them Miles name, which Timur knows as the head of the blackmarket on the base.

Timur and Bishop trap Miles and interrogate him about the theft, Miles insists he knows nothing and only sells things to make people feel better, but after Bishop gets upset, Timur punches Miles, starting a small fight before the two agents hold him down.

Spacecraft

Different types of spacecraft

A **spacecraft** is a vehicle designed to fly in outer spaceW.

## General information

Spacecraft are used to place, construct, repair, and/or maintain satellites or Space stations around Earth, or to transport humans and/or cargo to other celestial bodies or between those objects and their orbits. Spacecraft can be both crewed or uncrewed vehicles and can vary greatly in size and design depending on its operation purpose. Except for the case of single-stage-to-orbit vehicles, spacecraft launched from Earth always need a launch vehicle (carrier rocket). Spacecraft are used by govermental space agencies and military, but also by private companies, like Helios Aerospace.

William Waverly

**William Waverly** is the father of Ellen Wilson. He is a entrepreneur and millionaire, running his own international aviation company, Cavalier Airlines. He lives in Connecticut.

## History

### Early life

William Waverly became a pilot in the 20s. He knew aviation pioneers Amelia EarhartW and Charles LindbergW and started his own air freight company in the 30s, making him a self-made millionaire after the war. In 1948 he founded Cavalier Airlines.

### 1983

By 1983, Cavalier Airlines is a half a billion dollar company still run by its founder. They just expanded into Asia and built new hubs in Europe and other locations.

In September 1983, William had a heart attack. Ellen was informed about it while she was in a hotel bar in New York City with Thomas Paine, the night before they were supposed to fly to Korea to negotiate about the East Asian Space Alliance (EASA). Thomas told her to take the limo care for her father, as this would be more important and she could always follow a day or two later.

William's stroke turned out to not be that severe as initially expected, however Ellen called it a warning, but her father told her that he is running an expanding international company and that he would need her help if he was supposed to slow down. He also told her that he would not mind a grandchild or two. While they were talking in the hospital, the White House called, informing Ellen about the KAL-007 incident and Thomas Paine's death.

Victoria

**Space Shuttle *Victoria*** is an American spacecraft. The spaceplane is one of NASA's ten first generation Space Shuttles in their fleet.

## History

Like the other first generation shuttles, *Victoria* was put into service at some point between late 1981 and early 1983.

On May 20, 1983, *Victoria* was in OMDP in Palmdale, together with the two shuttles *Atlantis* and *Constitution*.

*Victoria* is still in service and used for orbital missions as well as for Jamestown supply runs.

## Behind the scenes

In the real word, there was no Space Shuttle with the name *Victoria*. Its name likely derived from the *Nao Victoria*, the first ship to circumnavigate the world.

XF Kronos

## Astronomical & Physical Information

> The most beautiful thing, I have ever seen.

> Grigory Kuznetsov, Season 4, Episode 1, "Glasnost"

**XF Kronos**, also just **Kronos**, is an asteroid in the Solar System.

## History

Discovered prior to 2003, Kronos is expacted to contain minerals and resources deemed vital for sustaining the Happy Valley colony on Mars. On March 17, 2003, a joint mission between the Mars-7 Alliance and Helios Aerospace was undertaken, attempting to tow the asteroid towards Mars' orbit for later mining. The mission failed when the docking construction between the rock and the capture ship *Ranger 1* broke apart due to heavy wobbling of the asteroid, after some of the anchors not being strong enough. As a result, two people died in space, Soviet cosmonaut Grigory Kuznetsov, and Helios space worker Tom Parker.

Sunny Hall

**Sunny Hall** was one of the conspirators working with Charles Bernitz involved in the Bombing of Johnson Space Center in fall 1995.

## History

During a rally, Sunny approached Jimmy Stevens and invited him to join her and some friends after the rally. There, they hint at a conspiracy against NASA, believing the attack on Jamestown in 1983 had been a coverup.

Sunny later aided Jimmy in stealing an ID badge from JSC. Sunny tried to create a distraction for Jimmy to steal a badge in the astronaut meeting room. After he failed to do so, Sunny wandered off looking for other rooms. Jimmy eventually caught up to her and showed he had swiped the badge from Alex Rossi. After this, Sunny, Charles, and Hal surprised Jimmy with the stolen statue of his late parents.

During coverage of Kelly Baldwin's return to *Phoenix*, the group seized the opportunity to take action. Posing as the media, they set up outside the JSC main office building. When Jimmy grew suspicious of their true plans, Sunny distracted him so Bernitz could knock him out. When Jimmy escaped, Sunny and Hal ran after him as Bernitz detonated the bomb.

In 1998, after a lengthy trial, Sunny and Hal were convicted for their involvement. Sunny was found guilty on two counts of conspiracy, and 195 counts of first degree murder. While she faces the death penalty, her attorney's fought for life inprisonment, citing her young age and lack of criminal history.

Richard Nixon

**Richard Milhous Nixon** was the 37th president of the United States from 1969 to 1973.

## History

On June 26, 1969, when the Soviet Union managed to land the first man on the Moon, not wanting to become the president who lost the Space Race, he ordered the CIAW to look again at all intelligence reports to see if they had missed anything.

After Wernher von Braun disapproved his wish for a military base on the Moon, he told Henry KissingerW that he wants "that Kraut bastard gone" and demanded to find a "creative way" to get rid of the popular NASA chief rocket designer. This was done by declassifying documents from Operation PaperclipW, making von Braun's former connection with the Allgemeine SSW public during a congressional hearing about the lost Space Race.

After the Soviets landed the first woman, Anastasia Belikova, on the Moon on 20 September 1969, Nixon ordered NASA to also send a female astronaut to space, "preferably a blonde", which led to the first female ASCAN program at NASA. On October 18, 1971, his wish was finally fulfilled when Molly Cobb landed on the lunar surface as part of Apollo 15, talking to the president on telephone, broadcasted live on national television.

In the 1972 presidential election, Nixon was defeated by Democrat Ted Kennedy. His involvement in the Watergate scandalW during his presidency led to criminal proceedings against him, though he rejected Kennedy's offer of a pardon in 1974.

## Behind the scenes

In OTL, Nixon won a second term in a landslide against George McGovernW in 1972. He was also never criminally charged for Watergate, due to the pardon of President Gerald FordW.

William Barber-Holler

## External Links

**William Barber-Holler** is an American child actor. Credited as **William Lee Holler**, he portrayed Jimmy Stevens, the younger son of Gordo and Tracy Stevens, as a young kid in the first half of season 1 of the Apple TV+ series *For All Mankind*.

In the last episode of that season, his character was played by Zakary Risinger .

Starting with season 2, David Chandler took over his role.
Venus

## Size comparison

**Venus** is a terrestrial planet in the Solar System and the second planet from the Sun.

Aside from the Soviet Union with their VeneraW missions, no other missions have been sent to the surface of Venus so far.

## History

In 1993, a rocket was launched, sending supplies for NASA's Sojourner-1 mission to Mars ahead of the crewed spacecraft. This pre-supply mission was originally planned for the launch window in 1994, but when the main mission was moved forward from 1996 to 1994, they launched it outside the usual windows and used Venus for a slingshot maneuverW to gain speed to ensure the supplies would still arrive on Mars in time.

## Exploration

Starting in the early 60s, the Soviet Space Program sent several probes for their Venera programW towards Venus.See Notes

In 1962, NASA's Mariner 2 probeW made a successful flyby on the planet.

From the early through mid 1990s, the NASA Aurora program was doing climate research over Leda PlanitiaW in Venus' orbit.

## Notes

* Venus is not shown in the series. The images in the infobox are from original sources, not from the show.

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 The Venera programW was a space probe program from the Soviet Space Program that started in 1961 and (in reality) ended in 1984. The first successful landing on Venus' surface happened in August 1970. As this is after the Point of Divergence (1966) of the TV show, it is only presumed that the landing year is correct.
The same counts for the Venera orbiter missions, which in reality happened in the mid 80s but are not mentioned in the show.
2. ↑ In reality, NASA sent space probes to several planets, includeing Venus, between 1962 and 1973 for their Mariner programW. This timespan is overlapping with the Point of Divergence (1966) of the TV show, so it's mostly unknown which missions after that point happened and when.
However, in the show, the Mariner program still exists in the mid 90s and goes way behind the 10 missions in the real world. In 1992, Mariner 27 and 28 are in Mercury's orbit, and in 1995, Mariner 32 and 33 are collecting samples in the asteroid beltW, as seen on various mission boards in season 3.

Ted Kennedy

**Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy** was the 38th president of the United States, serving one term from 1973 to 1977. A member of the Democratic Party and the Kennedy political family, he was the youngest president in United States' history at only 40 years old.

## History

Kennedy was the younger brother of president John F. KennedyW, who gave impulse to America's space program, and like his brother, he served as the junior senator from Massachusetts from 1962 to 1973. After the Soviet Union landed on the Moon on June 26, 1969, Kennedy cancelled his planned trip to Chappaquiddick Island. He served on a congressional committee investigating the American failure to land on the Moon first, which president Richard Nixon interpreted as a presidential challenge. Kennedy successfully defeated Nixon in the election of 1972, winning in a landslide. Despite his victory, he offered to pardon his predecessor for his involvement in the Watergate scandalW, although Nixon refused.

During his presidency, he successfully pushed for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. However, it emerged that this was accomplished through a corrupt scheme; the administration secured the critical ratification of Illinois (a state with a conservative Republican government) by awarding the state a lucrative NASA contract for Saturn V rocket components. This was exposed by Wernher von Braun after the explosion of Apollo 23. While the report was buried by NASA administrator Harold Weisner, the series of accidents at NASA caused significant damage to his approval rating.

Kennedy's presidency was further tarred by his extramarital affair with Mary Jo KopechneW, which caused him considerable political difficulties. In the 1976 presidential election, which centered on growing Cold War tensions, national defense, and deficit spending, Kennedy was defeated in a narrow margin by the Republican nominee and former governor of California, Ronald Reagan. This was due to the case *Reagan v. Kennedy*, where the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that partially marked ballots in the state of Ohio must be counted, giving Reagan a 713 vote lead in the state and its 25 electoral votes.

## Gallery

## Behind the scenes

In reality, Ted Kennedy was never elected president, despite a failed campaign against Jimmy Carter in 1980. This was largely due to his involvement in a car accident at ChappaquiddickW on the night of July 18-19, 1969 (during the Apollo 11W mission). The incident caused the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, possibly involved in an extramarital affair with Kennedy, and hindered his political career.

Spacesuit

NASA spacesuit from 1983

A **spacesuit**, also **space suit**, is a special garment designed to support life of human in outer spaceW or on the surface of other astronomical objects, like the Moon or Mars.

## General information

Spacesuits are necessary for extravehicular activity (EVA) of astronauts, and for any activity on the surface of other celestial objects than Earth. They are also often worn inside a spacecraft as a safety precaution in case of loss of cabin pressure, especially during launch and re-entry.

Spacesuits must provide stable internal pressure, breathable oxygenW and the elimination of carbon dioxideW, and body heat regulation. They must also shield against ultravioletW and particle radiationW, and protect against small micrometeoroidsW. At the same time, they must provide mobility and allow for the astronaut to do their work outside the spacecraft or on the surface of the astronomical body.

Spacesuits usually include a communication system, and some may be adapted to manoeuvre, dock, and tether onto a spacecraft.
