Earth & Earth Orbit |
|
|
Launch/Landing Sites British:
Singapore Royal Aerospace Base, Mombasa Royal Aerospace Base Orbital Facilites British:
Aurora Orbital Station All orbital
stations work together with each other and variour ground installations
to coordinate space traffic. Prince of Orange Station also maintains
large, zero-gravity, nonpressurized storage space that may be
rented. None of the orbital stations publically announce any
other work, but it is considered likely that some sort of research
is carried out. Satellites All nations with launch capability have at least one or two satellites. The United States and Japan have a network of geosynchronous radio satellites. |

Mars Orbital Stations British:
Samothrace Orbital Base, near Phobos Prussia maintains Ludwig Orbital Station, to coordinate communication and traffic, and to provide security backup for Deimos. The British maintain Samothrace Orbital Base for equivalent reasons. All the orbital stations also provide support for their respective nations' Mars Colonies. The Dutch have recently moved their asteroid mining support operation to Vesta (see below), and their future plans for Prince William Station, which nowhas only a skeleton crew, are unclear. Mars Bases and Colonies British:
Marathon Station, Chryse Planitia; Theses Station/Olympus Colony,
Olympus Mons |
|
Deimos |
|
|
Bases Prussia claims the entirety of Deimos for "security reasons," and nobody has yet challenged the claim. The Prussians are in the middle of a massive "Space Elevator" project, and intend to shift Deimos's orbit so that it is areosynchronous over Pavonis Mons. Currently, Konrad Base is built around what will become one end of the Space Elevator, Kepler Station. |
|
Phobos |
|
|
Bases The British have covered about 40% of Phobos with Alexandria Base, and have a de facto claim on the entire moon. Most of Alexandria Base is empty, depressurized domes that exist solely to hold down the claim. Storage space is available for rent, but there are no security features. Alexandria Base has a full-sized Hole in the Wall. |
|
Vesta & the Asteroid Belt |
|
|
The
Dutch Government recently completed construction of Hieronymus
Bosch Mining & Research Station on the asteroid Vesta, which
supports their asteroid mining operation. No other nation has
a presence in the asteroid belt as yet, but there is no doubt
that it will be the site of the next "land rush."
