Space Shuttle Contraband

Contraband is the Maiden orbiter for the SSF Program, Built By Cotton Belt and LightTime, the Shuttle was rolled out on Jan 20th, and launched on Jan 30th during SSF-1.

It would be destroyed in a major malfunction on June 12th 2023, T+23 seconds into SSF-22.

***SSF-1***

SSF-1 would be the first flight of the space shuttle program, and the first flight for Contraband.

The flight would be as follows, fly up, various in space etas, and then come down.

The flights commander was Ecco R Stonewall, and mission control, Glass, O Mayfield.

***SSF-2***

SSF-2 would go the same as SSF-1, except it would carry various experiments that needed to be tested in low earth orbit.

another fun thing on SSF-2, during this time, the Coalition was in a heavy spying fued with Rolandskavadet, and their leader thought SSF to be a spying operation. many joked on him for it saying ''Super Secret Filration - 2.''

***SSF-3***

SSF-3 would go the same as both 2 previous missions, but it would be the first without the mission control

present.

and as a promise to JIR, a body pillow would be brought aboard as apart of the deal.

***SSF-6***

SSF-6 would be Contrabands first flight since the previous 2 missions showing its sister orbiter, Tessaractium. on SSF-6,

Contraband would Visit the Jinsoku ISS owned by Builders Union at the time.

***SSF-7***

On SSF-7, Contraband would be taken up to dock with the Huboid Skylab, which had not been touched since Huboid-6.

SSF-7 Would be the final time a Coalition Space craft would touch the Skylab, as it would deorbit several months later on Nov 16.

***SSF-8***

SSF-8 would be the same as SSF 1-3, inflight etas and experimental research.

it would be the first flight carrying the Astronaut Manual, which can be found here.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fGeVoyYouSuPvh-TZpadudraTLwcdqCAn69sxagR7QY/edit?usp=sharing

***SSF-9***

on SSF-9, Contraband would be taken up to the Bison Republic's space station the New Bison Station.

this flight would strengthen Bison-Coalition relations, the flight would carry astronauts Milk K Hammen,

Milk H. Moavoni, Yutov Vitsheik, and Ecco R Stonewall.

***SSF-13***

on SSF-13, The MAAS was tasked with a testing operation by the Ecco Administration, and the first flight since the maiden flight of sister orbiter, Alnico.

The FireFly Program was a, what MAAS workers called ''leech'' to the Space Shuttle Program. it was the test of dropping payload from a shuttle and dropping it at an exact location, unharmed.

Contraband would liftoff on April 22nd, 2023, carrying to Fire Fly 01 into low earth orbit.

sadly, FireFly never released, getting shoved into its disconnectors on liftoff. FireFly 01 would be retired, and currently rests at the PCRR Museum.

***SSF-14***

The 2nd Flight carrying a FireFly Test Craft, SSF-14 would be a 2nd attempt at releasing the FireFly.

On April 29th, 2023, Contraband would liftoff, carrying FireFly to low earth orbit.

02 would be released without incident, and would begin a descent, later burning up to unknown causes 31 seconds into re entry.

***SSF-17***

SSF-17 would be the first flight of Contrabands upgraded design, and would carry a stationary research module where magnetic tests would happen.

SSF-17 would take place a day after SSF-16, launching on May 13th, 2023.

Onboard would be the first Frostbite astronaut aboard a foreign space flight, and present at the launch was coalition founder, ASDF34443.

The Launch would go smoothly, and Contraband would complete all its tasks without a hitch.

***SSF-19***

On SSF-19, it was decided that the MAAS woMayuld begin to test regular shuttle space station missions

to support their halfs of various BU space stations.

Contraband would liftoff on May 27th, 2023, and would begin its long orbital search for the station.

after awhile of navigating and orbit tweaking, Contraband would find the Jinksoku station, and dock with it.

SSF-19 would supply their half of the station with a 3 months worth of supplies.

Contraband would land safely at the Ion Airbase in Rustov.

***SSF-22***

SSF-22 was going to be the first flight of a space station servicing arm called ''LongArm''.

unknown to everyone, SSF-22 would be contrabands final liftoff.

*T-23 - 28 seconds into flight, Contraband would suffer a major malfunction, and explode over Lake Katerminsk. It would cause the shuttle program to be grounded for almost a month.*

*There Were No Survivors.*

***Where Contraband Resides***

Contraband currently resides in peices, most of which being stored away in Kenmare by the MAAS. only 82% of the orbiter has been recovered, as most of the parts would fall and sink into lake katerminsk.
