Height:7,Weight:1375,Thrust:1500kg to Leo
Components
Singlestage hull: 75*7:525kg
Small Thruster(1 meter): 100kg 1500kg To LEO
Small fuel tanks(6 meter):750kg
This one would have a payload of 125 kg
Launch:
N/A
Construction:
2 Regained II as constructed, including the prototype
Other:
The Basques pay you 4500 for all the rockets. This causes Tensions in Spain to skyrocket, which might hamper the local space program.
Expenses:
1000(Research) + 1150(Rocket construction)+ 1000( warhead construction)
ASTRO Yearly report
Research:
Dr Smith will further improve the reliability of the small thruster. There'sn't much progress made, but there's some
Lab 1: Konrad Becker will reduce the weight of the 2-stage hull. Again, much progress is made.
Lab 2: Improve the lifespan of the Explorer satellite. Much progress is made, mainly in the cooling reservoirs that prevent the sattlite from overheating, therefore allowing it to function longer. Sadly, they're afraid that further research would require extra funds.( Upgrading sattelite cost= 2000)
Research cost:$2000
Design:
None this year.
Manufacturing:
Another Redstone I. DONE
Construction:
Done
Launch:
Another Redstone I is launched whitout problems. The launch isn't as perfect as the previous one, but scientists gathered a lot of data from it.
Other:
Special event: Nothing
Total Cost: $2650
C.H.A.S.E. Yearly report
Research:
Lab 1st floor: Practical solar cells. Solar cell research goes fast. Soon the lab is filled with solarpowered airplanes, rockets and other little stuff. The scientists calculate how much surface area they would need to power the sattelite. Saddlt they're are rather fragile and the stuff they need to be packed in with weights quite a lot.
Lab 2nd floor: Re-usable primary phase rocket chassis[0.39] Your scientist are set to work designing a reusable rocket chassis. The problem is that it should survive the crash back to earth. Saddly the heath shield is rather cumbersome.
Design & Production
None
Construction
None.
Missions:
The Rocket takes of rather sluggishly, but no major problems arise. The sattelite is properly dropped into LEO and begins transmitting its signal around the world.
Other:
The press conference goes exceptionally well. Important figures from around the globe are present and the press easily found your locations, thanks to helpfull signs placed every 10 meter.
Most of the people are listening to the radio reciever in the middle room, which is emitting a low Beeb every 10 seconds, the location signal of your sattelite. But they haven't seen the true possibilities of this sattelite. You flick a switch and the Beeb cuts out. Several seconds later the national Anthem is faintly heard in the room. I takes them several seconds to realise it's coming from the Radio.
You clarify the uses of your sattelite, and tell them the signal will be recieved across the whole of CHina. Then you hand the microphone to one of the more important peoples so that he can give a speach to the whole of China.
Prestige: +6
The trade is succesful.
Total expenses: -$4250( Sattelites aren't free+ Special event)
Special event: You didn't expect so many important people showing up so you had to pay 1000 for emergency catering.

STARS Yearly report
Research:
-Dr Faust continues research into improving the efficiency of our thrusters. Research goes well, but Doctor Faust sadly has to inform you they seem to have reached the maximum efficiency for this type of thruster.
-A second team develops something which can transmit a signal from space. Some form of artificial satellite perhaps. Sattelite development goes exceptionally well. Your scientists ensure you that it's already to superior to what the chinese sent into space this year.
Design:
N/A
Construction:
Build an 'El Perajo Cantor II'
Launch:
The launch is succesfull and your are granted extra funds.( Several people whisper though they want you to build rockets to match those the Rebels got )
+2 Prestige
Expenditure:
4,750 (1k for satellite, 2k for thrusters, 750 for the rocket+ 1000 for war event)
Random Event: None
War event: The Ethnic struggles escalate. WHitout intervetion this might turn into a civil war. Yesterday rebels stole over 1000 worth of launching material. I wonder what they would want with that.
DWARF Yearly report.
Research:
Rocket fuel research continues, but not much progress is being made.
Life Support Module: Make that elephant lighter. Your engineers decide for once to not blow anything up, and make ridiculous amounts of progress. WHo needed the Lead chairs anyway.
Thruster: I want a larger one. Keep it safe, but we NEED MORE POWA! A large thruster is developped and progress is well, as you can see by the amount of prototypes flying by your office.
