C.H.A.S.E. Yearly report
CHASE
The year had finally arrived. Xin Su would officially retire at the end of the year, and unofficially leave the day-to-day running of CHASE in the hands of his replacement starting now. He would spend the year training, and be among the first group of humans to live off of Earth for any length of time.
((I realize that personally performing missions was supposed to only be for people starting with the astronaut archetype, but you've been lenient on letting people other than me use money for prestige, which was originally only to be for lobbyists. If not, treat it as a tourist with a bit of training poking around.))
Shiny New Trait: Scientific.
Research:
Lab 1st floor (Propulsion Expert): XL Safe Thruster safety value. Work here progresses.
Lab 2nd floor: Water recycling system for a space station. Work here progresses a bit
Lab 3rd floor (Shaiming Hu): Improve the spacegym's duration bonus. Work here goes quite fast.
Lab 4th floor (Specialized for space stations) (Yi shing): Increase the duration of my Large Sleeping Quarters.Work here goes very fast.
Design & Production
Refit my Explorer Mk II shuttles with a docking bay.Costs: 300
Construction
None.
Missions:
I may have slightly over-thought stuff.
((The shuttle engines are marked as being 15kg too heavy. My calculations are based on the vehicles being 15kg lighter than you have them marked.
I believe an Explorador with four Manos de Ayuda boosters would have a payload capacity to stable LEO of 1223kg))
Shuttles:
1494kg to dock with docking system installed.
1344lg with 2 crew or 1269 with full crew.
672 or 634 with tape depending on crew size
2371 delivery to stable LEO
1185 with tape
Essential cargo to get station functioning by the end of this year:
Large sleeping quarters: 780kg800
Spacegym: 780kg1000
Lifesupport: 660kg2000
Computing hub: 100kg250
Power 5.45: 600kg1500
Subtotal: 2920kg5550
3 months supplies: 750kg
Optimal launch schedule:
Kashyyk launch:
750kg supplies (I'm paying, but not shipping food and water halfway around the world for no reason.)Cost:750
473kg essentials ($237 shipping)
The launch is succesfull and the food and everything are delivered at the station.
2447kg essentials remain
Toaster 1:
Use tape, get cargo to stable orbit in station's vicinity.
1180kg Large hull piece with two docking bays2000
5kg supplies
Launch succesfull
Land shuttle 3 at my facility.
Nirur 1&2:
Use tape, get cargo to stable orbit in station's vicinity.
1185kg x2 essentials then supplies.
Both launches are succesfull
177kg essentials remain
Toaster 2:
Use tape, get cargo to stable orbit in station's vicinity.
780kg Large sleeping quarters800
177kg of essentials
300kg 3 solar cells750
4kg of supplies
Launch succesfull
Nirur 3:
Re-purpose shuttle with docking system. Bring Taikonaut Tiruin, leader, and a Scotonaut.
225kg: suits + 1 set spare oxygen tanks
Setup everything. Dock if everything went well. Leave shuttle docked with station.
Launch succesfull. All systems are connected and everything went fine.
Nirur 4:
Use tape, get cargo to stable orbit in station's vicinity.
300kg 3 solar cells
885kg supplies
Launch succesfull, everything delivered.
Optimistic outcome: 1644kg supplies delivered.
In case of lost payload, delay the living quarters delivery mission to the end of the year (my final launch) and just crew the station with two people (cut the Scotonaut).
Extra thrust should be used for more supplies.
Taikonauts:
Train current leader as a temporary Taikonaut using Taikonaut One's training spot (he's apparently not using it anyway.) Leader will retire after he lands.
Other:
Aerospace department investment (year 1 of 5) ($1000)
Release the blueprint for the [0.5] 200kg docking system to the public domain, giving it to all players, and removing it from my research.
Trade with SoHowAreYou: Nanotech [2.0] for my $3000
Trade with adwarf: Agricultural Hub [2.25] for my Solar Cells [2.5]
Pay Kashyyk $2500 for his launch.
Name the station the Mao Kongjianzhan
Use PR on whatever launch my leader's on.
Press conference! $5000
Several of the launches are ill recieved by the media, which on one occasion even reported the death of all astronauts. The press conference was a succes however.
+8 prestige.
Total expenses: $16,037 + 5550+800+750

Business man trait as a perk

He will research advance medicine which I assume is nanobot fighting but may be tiny pills for free
Work here goes fast.Continue alloy for 1k

Work on the Learning algorithms begins, but is expected to take a while.Robotics automation 1k
No progress is made here.Make the conference still for 1k. In it say that with increased government support we can revolutionize medicine in ten years computers in 12 communication in 15 and if the government lends great support these can be accelerated in addition in 20 years energy will be revolutionized and maybe if we receive much support we can start to terraform mars if the government lends us their full support in 40 years
Sadly, the governement doesn't agree and doesn't give you any extra funds. The public doesn't believe you either.4K
