W.A.T. Yearly report
Research:
Research a two-stage hull
Research on the 2 Stage hull goes well. Much progress is made.
Design & Production
Continue Production on Regained II with thermobaric payloads
2 Regained II's are produced and armed with warheads.
Construction
Build a Lab Extension. An extra floor is added to the lab for 5000 money units.
(Next upgrade: 10000)
Other:
Continue our trade connections with the Basques. You manage to sell your rockets once more, but the Basques say they have more than enough rockets now. The rockets sold for 3000 money units.
Expenses:
1000 (Warheads)+ 1050(rockets)+ 5000( Lab)
ASTRO Yearly report
Research:
Work on the SEA sattelite goes slow, and the power requirements from the instruments and the large communicators weight down the thing considerably and limit it's life expectancy
Lab 1 reports they have improved the thrusters reliability as much as they possibly can. However the extra safety mesures complicate the design( 2000 cost for thruster upgrade)
Lab 2 very nearly almost blew up the lab, and no progress is made.
Research Cost: $2000
Design
None this year, but I believe my current technology allows me to design a 2-stage rocket that can put a 1286kg payload into a stable Low Earth Orbit.
Production
1 Explorer satellite
Production Cost: $500
Launch
The launch goes well, though the rockets stability could have been better, and soon your sattelite is in orbit around planet Earth.
Prestige: +3
Other
The FBI does some research but gives up quickly whitout finding anything usefull.
Total cost: $2500
C.H.A.S.E. Yearly report
Research:
Lab 1st floor: Create a solar powered radio satellite (May be as large and as heavy as the Exploitation allows). Work on integrating the powercells with the current sattelite tech goes fast.
Lab 2nd floor: Exploitation of solar cells in civilian markets. Work here goes fast. After all, publicity is good and your solar pannels are of exceptionnal quality( These things survive in space afterall). However their high costs result in a very low profit margin. Also, a minor investement(5000) is required to set up the shops and factories.
Design & Production
Build an Exploitation class light cargo rocket: -$750
DOne
Construction
Upgrade Factory to 20m/year: -$5000
Done
Missions:
None
Other:
Press Conference: -$1000
New goal: The first practical, long-term radio satellite in the world will be launched by CHASE within three years.
The press conference is a major succes, earning you a lot of funds and possible sattelite buyers.

STARS Yearly report
Research
- Dr Faust repeats once more that they
can't make the thrusters more efficient. So he spends the next year improving the thrusters safety to the maximum technical vieable level. There isn't much left to add anymore, but Dr. Faust thinks he might be able to make the thrusters lighter or increase their burning speed given enough funds( Further thruster safety reseach impossible, further efficiency research impossible). Lowering weight or max capacity possible, but for the cost of 3000)
-Fun fact about nitroglycerin, it explodes when shaked or dropped. Some lab equipment got damaged and had to be replaced.( 500) No progress was made.
Design
Modifying the design is not needed, as payloads are easily switchable
Production
Fit the 'El Perajo Cantor II' with a comm satellite. ( Cost 500)
Missions
Launch the modified 'El Perajo Cantor II'
The launch goes well, and Stars earns some new funds.
+3 Prestige.

Expenses

Random Event: You recieved some extra fundings from the governement who want you to hurry up with your research.(+1000)
War event: The situation is quickly turning into a civil war. The rebels blew up a bridge near your base, and you had to pay for it yourself if you wanted suplly shipments to resume.(-1000)
DWARF Yearly report.
Research:
Progress is swift, but your scientists inform you that they have no reached the maximum efficiency.

COnstruction:
Spear MK1 + Dogmobile
Launch:
The launch goes well, and after barely half an hour in space the dog drops back to earth. The Parachute deploys correctly and soon the dog is back on earth. The landing is a bit hard though and the dog breaks several bones, but overall the whole mission is a succes.
