Electron 3-11/EXCEL-3C

**Electron 3-11/EXCEL-3C** was an Electron 3 launch out of Aterpol Space Center and was operated by ESAA. It successfully placed the EXCEL-3C satellite in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for ExcelSky. The rocket later landed back on Earth, where it was later recovered by ground crew.

This mission was the second flight of Electron 3 booster 014, having previously flown on the Astra 29 mission.
Astra 4

The Wayfairer IIA second stage in Solar orbit

**Astra 4** was the fourth mission in ESAA's Astra space program, consisting of a single unmanned capsule to be sent to Earth orbit. The capsule was launched on mission Wayfairer 2A-1/Astra-4 on a Wayfairer IIA rocket from Aterpol Space Center, Pad 4A. The Wayfairer IIA rocket reached orbit with its second stage, but the engine failed to shut down; this carried the stage past Earth orbit and into a Solar orbit. Although the engine was later able to be shut down, the rocket still remains in orbit around the Sun.
Starflier-47/ENSAT-12

**Starflier-47/ENSAT-12** was a Starflier Block II launch out of Aterpol Space Center. The launch was operated by ESAA and successfully placed the ENSAT 12 satellite in Low Earth Orbit.

This launch marked the last launch of the ENSAT satellite constellation, completing its coverage. It also marked the final launch of the Starflier rocket, retiring the at-the-time workhorse of ESAA.
James Frobisher

**James Kiley Frobisher** was a Northern Protectorate astronaut, pilot, and aeronautical engineer. He was the first human to journey into outer space and the fourth man to walk on the Moon. He was killed whilst commanding Astra 11, which suffered catastrophic separation failure during re-entry and burned up in Earth atmosphere.

Frobisher was given a state funeral alongside his fellow crew members, Lianna Walsh and Myles Pedersen. Music for the procession was written by famous composer Silas Fletcher and was performed by ESAA personnel with musical experience. Among the procession was Mitchell Benson, the first man to step foot on the Moon, who was a drummer for the ceremony.
Earth

**Earth** (also known as **Eridanus 3**) is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. While large volumes of water can be found throughout the Solar System, only Earth sustains liquid surface water. About 71% of Earth's surface is made up of the ocean, dwarfing Earth's polar ice, lakes, and rivers. The remaining 29% of Earth's surface is land, consisting of continents and islands. Earth's surface layer is formed of several slowly moving tectonic plates, interacting to produce mountain ranges, volcanoes, and earthquakes. Earth's liquid outer core generates the magnetic field that shapes Earth's magnetosphere, deflecting destructive solar winds.

Earth is home many nations, among them the Northern Protectorate and its flagship space exploration agency, the Eridani Spaceflight and Aeronautics Administration.
Aurora 3

**Aurora 3** is a geographical analysis satellite developed by ESAA currently in Low Moon Orbit. The satellite was launched into on mission Wayfairer 3-3/Aurora-3 on a Wayfairer III rocket from Aterpol Space Center, Pad 12C. After achieving Lunar orbit, the satellite deposited the *Nomad* rover onto the Lunar surface.
Honduras

**Honduras, Republic of Honduras** - country in North/Central America. The republic of Honduras is bordered to the west by Guatemala, to the southwest by El Salvador, to the southeast by Nicaragua, to the south by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Fonseca, and to the north by the Gulf of Honduras, a large inlet of the Caribbean Sea.

Astra 11

The Astra 11 lunar module on the surface of the Moon

**Astra 11** was the third crewed lunar mission and the eleventh overall mission in the Northern Protectorate Astra space program, administered by ESAA, and the second to land on the Moon. It was launched to the Moon on mission Wayfairer 3-6/Astra-11. No landing zone was selected in particular for the mission, with discretion left to the Mission Commander. Upon descent, a zone near Tycho Crater was selected as the landing zone, and the Lunar module successfully landed without incident. After re-achieving Lunar orbit and returning to Earth, the capsule attempted to re-enter Earth atmosphere; upon re-entry, the capsule suffered damage separating from the lunar module which sheared off its heat shield. The capsule burned up from heat damage, killing all three of its crew. Due to the mission failure, the launch of Astra 12 was shifted back eight months for further inspection and review.

The mission was crewed by Commander James Frobisher (the first man in space), Module Pilot Myles Pedersen, and Mission Specialist Lianna Walsh. Walsh—albeit briefly—claimed the distinction of being the first woman to step foot on the Moon. On this particular mission, Commander Frobisher finally set foot on the Moon following his close orbit on Astra 8 that denied him the distinction of being the first man on the Moon.

This mission marked the first in-flight fatalities in the history of spaceflight.

## Trivia

* The Frobisher Moon Base is named in memoriam of Commander Frobisher.
Astra 29

Ersa on the surface of the Moon

**Astra 29** was the sixteenth crewed lunar mission and the twenty-ninth overall mission in the Northern Protectorate Astra space program, administered by ESAA and developed entirely by Echelon Aerospace Technologies, and the fourteenth to land on the Moon. It was the second entirely private-funded and private-operated manned landing on the Moon. It was launched to the Moon on mission Electron 3-5/Astra-29. Following lunar injection, the Echelon-designed Avocet Lunar Expedition Module (ALEM) docked with the Arrowhead space station, where the crew transferred to the Selene lander *Ersa* to descend to the surface.

Upon descent, Tycho Crater was selected as the landing zone, and the lander successfully touched down without incident. After re-achieving Lunar orbit and docking with the Arrowhead station once again, the ALEM capsule successfully re-entered Earth atmosphere. It was later successfully recovered, crew intact.

The mission was crewed by Commander Mallory O'Donough, Module Pilot Alain Smith, and Mission Specialist Simon Tolliver.

Astra 19

The Astra 19 lunar module on Landing Pad 1

**Astra 19** was the ninth crewed lunar mission and the nineteenth overall mission in the Northern Protectorate Astra space program, administered by ESAA, and the eighth to land on the Moon. It was the first dedicated Lunar mission to man the Frobisher Moon Base for research operations, and the first to land there. It was launched to the Moon on mission Wayfarer 3-20/Astra-19. Landing Pad 1 of the Frobisher Moon Base was the designated landing site, and the Lunar module successfully touched down without incident. There, the crew manned the base for a set shift (one month) before preparing to return to Earth.

However, due to the failed launch of the Astra 20 mission on Wayfairer 3-21/Astra-20 that destroyed Aterpol Space Center's mission control and command ability, Astra 19's return to Earth was delayed, stranding the crew for two months. The crew finally returned to Earth after three months on the Moon; the capsule successfully re-entered Earth atmosphere and was later successfully recovered, crew intact.

The mission was crewed by Commander Corbin Waxwell, Module Pilot Miles Hunt, and Mission Specialist Arthur Clarkson.

## Trivia

* The Astra 19 crew holds the record for the longest time spent on the Moon (3 months) due to the Astra 20 launch failure.
Moon

The **Moon** is Earth's only natural satellite. It is larger than any of the known dwarf planets and is the largest (and most massive) satellite relative to its parent planet. The Moon is a planetary-mass object that formed a differentiated rocky body, making it a satellite planet under the geophysical definitions of the term. It lacks any significant atmosphere, hydrosphere, or magnetic field. Its surface gravity is about one-sixth of Earth's (0.1654 g).

The Moon has been the center of focus for ESAA's Astra program, and is the home to the Frobisher Moon Base. It was first imaged by the Aurora 1 satellite.
Triton VI

**Triton VI** (pronounced *Triton six*) was an expendable launch system and the third major version in the Triton launch vehicle family. It was developed and was operated by Triton Launch Systems (TLS). Triton VI was decommissioned by ESAA and discontinued from use following the development of the Starflier rocket.
Astra 12

The Astra 12 lunar module on the surface of the Moon

**Astra 12** was the fourth crewed lunar mission and the twelfth overall mission in the Northern Protectorate Astra space program, administered by ESAA, and the third to land on the Moon. It was launched to the Moon on mission Wayfarer 3-7/Astra-12. No landing zone was selected in particular for the mission, with discretion left to the Mission Commander. Upon descent, the Sea of Serenity was selected as the landing zone, and the Lunar module successfully landed without incident. After re-achieving Lunar orbit and returning to Earth, the capsule successfully re-entered Earth atmosphere, reaching a maximum temperature of 3,939°C. It was later successfully recovered, crew intact.

The mission was crewed by Commander Kirby Lowne, Module Pilot Emma Burbank, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Ferguson. The mission was delayed for nine months due to the previous destruction of Astra 11 and the deaths of its crew.

## Trivia

* Kirby Lowne would later become the first man on Mars.
Aerostar

**Aerostar, Incorporated** was a private Northern Protectorate aerospace company and spacecraft manufacturer headquartered in Lesser Corcora. The company went bankrupt following failed over-budget development plans for its flagship rocket—the then-named Aerostar 1. However, the company merged with the burgeoning Northern Protectorate engine development company ChronowerX Dynamics to form Aerochron Corp.
Mars

**Mars** is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System, being larger than only Mercury. In the English language, Mars is named for the Roman god of war. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere (less than 1% that of Earth's), and has a crust primarily composed of elements similar to Earth's crust, as well as a core made of iron and nickel. Mars has surface features such as impact craters, valleys, dunes, and polar ice caps. It has two small and irregularly shaped moons: Phobos and Deimos.

Some of the most notable surface features on Mars include Olympus Mons, the largest volcano and highest known mountain on any planet in the Solar System, and Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in the Solar System. The Borealis basin in the Northern Hemisphere covers approximately 40% of the planet and may be a large impact feature. Other features of Mars include Hellas Planitia, Arcadia Planitia, Utopia Planitia, and Gale Crater.

The planet was first imaged by the Erebus 6 satellite.

Remus program

Insignia

The **Remus program**, also known as **Project 2421 Remus**, is a Northern Protectorate human spaceflight program carried out by the Eridani Spaceflight and Aeronautics Administration (ESAA). The program has succeeded in sending humans to Martian orbit, as well as preparing and landing the first humans on Mars.
The Imbrius Theorem

**Imbrius Theorem** was the posited solution put forth by Terran gene-wrights during the waning years of the Terran Unification Wars era of the late 90th Millennium to solve the diminishing stability of the Imperial Marines' Inheritance-Helix stores that became rampant through over-use.

The creation of new Inheritance-Helix supplies was strained due to the heavy losses the Imperial Marine Legions of this era took in rapidly expanding the Imperium of Man.

This theorem demonstrated that a sample of a Luminarch's genetic code could be used to stabilize and rapidly expand the supply of that Luminarch's existing Angelus Inheritance-Helix stocks with what was hoped to be "minimal deviation" and mutation from the baseline genetic code.

## History

As the Great Crusade continued the expansion of the newborn Imperium Dominus across the galaxy in the late 90th Millennium, the re-discovery of the Luminarchs and their newly adopted homeworlds helped to stem an impending crisis that was not widely known of at the time outside of the exalted ranks of the Imperium's ruling War Council.

Namely, this was the diminishing stability of the Angelus' Inheritance-Helix itself through over-use and the increasing need of the Imperium for ever greater numbers of Imperial Marines in the field.

This was a matter that was only exacerbated as the expeditionary fleets of the Great Crusade pushed ever wider afield into the galaxy. Imperial forces could no longer be concentrated as easily as before, and attrition was taking its toll as the years of near-constant battle became solar decades.

Slowing the pace of the Great Crusade's progress was simply not an option for the God Emperor of Man, and so the simple truth was that more Imperial Marines were needed and they needed to be created faster than had been done using the Inheritance-Helix cultivation and Angelus organ implantation methods of the past.

A secret conclave of gene-wrights under the Emperor's direct supervision posited the solution that became known as the Imbrius Theorem, which demonstrated that a sample of a Luminarch's genetic code could be used to stabilize and expand the Angelus Inheritance-Helix stocks with what was hoped to be "minimal deviation" as to better fill the ranks of these Million-man Legions of the Era Angelus.

Alongside this accelerated gene-culturing technique, other previously unavailable genetic engineering technologies were put into effect, reducing the processing time required to create a battle-worthy Angelus Imperial Marine to a single Terran year to only a few months in some cases.

Such accelerated Inheritance-Helix cultivation techniques, along with absent, inadequate or over-forceful psycho-indoctrination techniques, were later found to have produced unseen fundamental flaws in the Angelus subjected to them.
Echelon Aerospace Technologies

Logo of Echelon Aerospace Technologies

**Echelon Aerospace Technologies Corp.** is a private Northern Protectorate spacecraft manufacturer and space launch operator headquartered in Greater Celica. It is currently contracted by the Eridani Spaceflight and Aeronautics Administration to launch satellites into Low Earth Orbit and shuttles to crew the Tethys 2 space station. At present, Echelon Aerospace Technologies has been given sole responsibility for the launch of further Iris satellites into Low/High Earth Orbit.

Echelon's rockets are characterized by their reusability, with both their Electron 3 and Electron 9 rockets being able to reuse their first stages. The company is widely considered to be the leading entity in private spaceflight.
Wayfairer III

**Wayfairer III** (pronounced *Wayfairer three*) was an expendable launch system and the third major version in the Wayfairer launch vehicle family. It was developed and was operated by the Eridani Spaceflight and Aerospace Administration (ESAA). The rocket had the notable distinction of bringing the first man and the first woman to the Lunar surface via the Astra space program. The rocket was decommissioned following the improved design of the Wayfairer III Block II rocket.

## Launch History

 Wayfairer 3-2/Astra-8 | Astra 8 | Lunar orbit
 Wayfairer 3-3/Aurora-3 | Aurora 3 | Lunar orbit
 Wayfairer 3-4/Astra-9 | Astra 9 | Manned lunar landing
 Wayfairer 3-5/Erebus-3 | Erebus 3 | Mars orbit
Electron 3-8/Iris-39

**Electron 3-8/Iris-39** was an Electron 3 launch out of Aterpol Space Center and was operated by ESAA. It successfully placed the Iris 39 satellite in High Earth Orbit (HEO). Due to the extra performance required of the Electron 3 rocket, a recovery of its first stage was not attempted. As such, it launched without landing legs, grid fins, or RCS systems.

This mission marked the first usage of the new Echelon Aerospace Technologies launch-fuel tower hybrid from pad 22E.
BST Valkyrie

**BST Valkyrie** is a fully re-useable, sub-orbital vehicle capable of carrying passengers into sub-orbital flight. It is produced by Northern Protectorate aerospace company Brightstar Space Travels (BST). The rocket is notable for being the first rocket in the Eridani history to be fully reusable, being able to land with the aid of parachutes back to the surface of the Earth.

Valkyrie is the first rocket to have a dedicated viewing room for passengers at the top of the rocket in place of a traditional fairing or payload. The rocket is capable of carrying seven (7) passengers along with a single pilot on any dedicated launch. Because Valkyrie's thrust-to-weight ratio (4.04) is so favorable, the rocket operates on 50% thrust for normal operations.
Triton 4-6/Iris-27

**Triton 4-6/Iris-27** was a Triton IV launch out of Aterpol Space Center and was operated by ESAA. It attempted to place the Iris 27 satellite in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), however, upon launch, the rocket suffered a failure in its engine controls, tilting the rocket to a drastic left pitch. The rocket impacted the ground and exploded, destroying its payload in the ensuing fire.

The launch was the last launch of the Triton IV and the inciting incident that led to its decommissioning.

## Cause of Accident

The cause of the launch failure was traced to its Number 3 engine—the rightmost engine—which was gimbaled to the right. This gimbaling was done during testing, and the engine was installed on the rocket without the pre-set gimbaling being noticed. Upon launch, the thrust from Engine 3 directed to the right, sending the rocket to a drastic left pitch.
Iris 1

**Iris 1** is a defunct communications satellite launched into Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The satellite was launched on mission Triton 4-1/Iris-1 on a Triton IV rocket from Aterpol Space Center, Pad 4A. It was a part of the Iris satellite constellation. The satellite was the first satellite to be launched into orbit.
Astra 25

The Astra 25 lunar module docked with Artemis

**Astra 25** was the fourteenth crewed lunar mission and the twenty-fifth overall mission in the Northern Protectorate Astra space program, administered by ESAA, and the twelfth to land on the Moon. It was the fourth dedicated Lunar mission to man the Frobisher Moon Base for research operations. It was launched to orbit on mission Wayfarer 3-26/Astra-25, where it docked with the *Artemis* spacecraft and traveled to the moon. Landing Pad 1 of the Frobisher Moon Base was the designated landing site, and the Lunar module successfully touched down without incident. There, the crew manned the base for a set shift (one month) collecting research data on Lunar regolith.

After re-achieving Lunar orbit and returning to Earth, the capsule successfully re-entered Earth atmosphere where it was later successfully recovered, crew intact.

The mission was crewed by Commander Benjamin Samford, Module Pilot Edmund Fiennes, and Mission Specialist Dylan Parker. It marked the first manned usage of the Mark III Lunar Venture Module (LVM), specifically designed for usage with the *Artemis* spacecraft.
Astra 13

The Astra 13 lunar module on the surface of the Moon

**Astra 12** was the fifth crewed lunar mission and the thirteenth overall mission in the Northern Protectorate Astra space program, administered by ESAA, and the fourth to land on the Moon. It was launched to the Moon on mission Wayfarer 3-8/Astra-13. No landing zone was selected in particular for the mission, with discretion left to the Mission Commander. Upon descent, Copernicus Crater was selected as the landing zone, and the Lunar module successfully landed without incident. After re-achieving Lunar orbit and returning to Earth, the capsule successfully re-entered Earth atmosphere, reaching a maximum temperature of 3,819°C. It was later successfully recovered, crew intact.

The mission was crewed by Commander Patrick Heafey, Module Pilot Helena Coleman, and Mission Specialist Jenna Malloy.
Astra 2

**Astra 2** was the second mission in ESAA's Astra space program, consisting of a single unmanned capsule sent to sub-orbital flight. The capsule was launched on mission Wayfairer 1-2/Astra-2 on a Wayfairer I rocket from Aterpol Space Center, Pad 4A. The Wayfairer I rocket successfully sent the capsule to sub-orbital flight where it re-entered Earth atmosphere and was successfully recovered.
Astra 27

**Astra 27** was the twenty-seventh overall mission in the Northern Protectorate Astra space program, administered by ESAA and developed entirely by Echelon Aerospace Technologies. It was launched to lunar orbit on mission Electron 3-3/Astra-27. Following lunar injection, the Echelon-designed Avocet Lunar Expedition Module (ALEM) made several orbits around the Moon before returning to Earth.

The mission tested the new ALEM capsule system which was later used to land Echelon astronauts on the Moon on the Astra 28 mission.
Atlas

**Atlas** is a reusable lander spacecraft system developed by Echelon Aerospace Technologies as a part of its space expansion commission. Atlas is designed to land a crew of five and potential cargo onto to the Lunar and Martian surfaces to deposit habitation modules. Echelon Aerospace Technologies intends to utilize Atlas on manned Mars missions to establish a habitable base on its surface.

At present, there are **four** Atlas shuttles designed, built, and operated by Echelon.

Venus

**Venus** is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it the closest to Earth. It is sometimes called Earth's "sister" or "twin" planet as it is almost as large and has a similar composition. Venus, like Mercury, appears in Earth's sky never far from the Sun, either as morning star or evening star with a synodic period of 1.6 years. It is, after the Moon, the brightest natural object in Earth's sky, capable of casting visible shadows on Earth at dark conditions and being visible to the naked eye in broad sunlight.

Venus is the second largest terrestrial object of the Solar System, with a surface gravity minimally lower than on Earth, but having only an induced magnetosphere. The carbon dioxide atmosphere of Venus is the densest of the four terrestrial planets. The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is about 92 times the sea level pressure of Earth, or roughly the pressure at 900 m (3,000 ft) underwater on Earth. Major features of Venus include Atalanta Planitia, Lavinia Planitia, and Maxwell Montes.

The planet was first imaged by the Victrix 2 satellite.
Astra 3

**Astra 3** was the third mission in ESAA's Astra space program, consisting of a single unmanned capsule sent to a sub-orbital Lunar revolution. The capsule was launched on mission Wayfairer 1-3/Astra-3 on a Wayfairer I rocket from Aterpol Space Center, Pad 4A.

Jupiter

**Jupiter** is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass more than two and a half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined, but slightly less than one-thousandth the mass of the Sun. Jupiter is the third brightest natural object in the Earth's night sky after the Moon and Venus, and it has been observed since prehistoric times. It was named after the Roman god Jupiter, the king of the gods.

Jupiter is primarily composed of hydrogen, but helium constitutes one-quarter of its mass and one-tenth of its volume. It probably has a rocky core of heavier elements, but, like the other giant planets in the Solar System, it lacks a well-defined solid surface. The outer atmosphere is divided into a series of latitudinal bands, with turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries. A prominent result of this is the Great Red Spot, a giant storm which has been observed since at least 1831.

The planet was first imaged by the Olympus 1 satellite. Higher-resolution images were later taken by the JSAMP-1 and JSAMP-2-ORBIT satellites, as well as the manned Explorer 3 and Explorer 4 missions.

The four main moons of Saturn are:

* Io
* Europa
* Ganymede
* Callisto
