Spaceports of your country

Postby Hatsunia » Sat Feb 23, 2013 6:27 pm

Hatsunia's spaceport is called Negishima Space Center, and it is located at a latitude of 23°54 N. The Hatsunia AeroSpace Development Agency and the commercial launch provider Crypton Future Aerospace launch payloads carried by M-II rockets* from here into various orbits, such as low Earth orbit, sun-synchronous polar orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, or even an escape trajectory (to the Moon or other planets). A 3,900-m long runway is available for any airplanes arriving or departing from the island, and will be used as a landing site for the upcoming Reusable Commercial Vehicle, which can transport one pilot and six passengers to a commercial space hotel. Two launchpads are available for M-II rockets (and their variants); another is available for solid-fueled small-lift launch vehicles; and there is yet another pad for sounding rockets.

(*OOC: It is like an H-IIA with a kerosene/liquid oxygen first stage.)

Hundreds of formal spaceports exist, largely to provide hangar space for civilian spacecraft.

Orbiting 'spacedocks' provide docking space for the ships of the Aristoleian Military and Scientific Fleet.

TurtleShroom does not have a functioning space port, but rather, it launches rockets from missile silos converted to that peacible purpose. We have over ten thousand missile silos and launchers. Why not put them to use?

The Centaurian Confederacy is an alliance of several dozen independent planets, moons, and large asteroids in the Alpha Centauri system. Formerly colonies of several Terran nations, the system rebelled in 2259, and due to the long travel time between the Centauri system and the Sol system (jump drives were invented by the Confederacy during the war), the war ended quickly. Afterwards, in order to protect themselves from any extra-solar aggression, the majority of the inhabited planets (including one inhabited by aliens) formed a military and economic alliance now known as the Centaurian Confederacy.

Radiatia's main spaceport is the Soden T. Larssen Space Centre, located in Vyora, Detzertscha.

The space centre was renamed in honour of the late Prime Minister Soden Larssen who was a major champion and advocate of Radiatia's space programme.

Most of our major worlds have orbital rings and space elevators to ferry goods to the ground and our Dyson sphere has hundreds of thousands of docking bays and clamps for larger ships.

Some minor colonies have an orbital station and a ground port and a ring is built when they get a large enough population to warrant one.

Outposts only have a cleared area of ground for shuttles to land on.

The das-Husland orbital insertion facility "Gwalia's Revenge" is located approximately 350 kilometers north of Hell-Dasland. Most Launches are either military or government funded. Orbital insertion is attained through the use of reconditioned titan II missiles boosted with a mixture of ethenol and oxygen.

We have no spaceports. Even STL ships should be able to remain in orbit indefinitely, and if your ship is both too large to land and lacks shuttles appropriate for this purpose, we are unsure of what you expected to accomplish by coming here in the first place. Of course, shuttles will be provided in this scenario, but it is uncommon, thus we have little reason to construct specialized docking bays.

Technically, Ol'vi Cosmodrome in Metropolitan Alfegos is the only spaceport in the People's Nation. Consisting of multiple launching facilities in a dedicated complex, the Cosmodrome supports both Private and Government space expeditions, as well as being an active military base.

The facilities available include:
- 2x Parallel 5000m runways, capable of most spaceplanes, for takeoff and landing.
- 8x Launchpads, ranging in capacity from minor rocketry (e.g. Atmospheric sounding) to 2x Launchpads for ultra-heavy interplanetary rocketry.
- Assembly structures and centres
- Research and testing centres
- Dedicating fuelling centres, including research facilities, for lOx, lH2, Ethanol, solid fuels, and other various fuel types.
- Sounding areas and underground re-enforced test areas
- Full integrated satellite and craft command and control centres, with fast internet access allowing distributed command and control for private/backup units.

The site is mostly used for commercial launches of satellites, by many Novan nations, due to the nation's proximity to the equator. Human space launches occur increasinly, either private (space tourism), or research. Military launches also occur, though with little warning and infrequently.

Huh? Why?

(MT) Inutoland's space centre is called the Coantupan Launch Facility. It began its life as an airbase for interceptor squadrons, but was handed over to the nascent Inutoland Space Agency for development into a civilian space centre after the interceptor squadron was disbanded.

Coantupan currently handles all of the Space Agency's launches.


Inutoland's FT incarnation, the Confederation of the Coa Maru Cluster, has numerous spaceports at both planetary surface level and in orbit around its planets.

The People's Democratic Republic maintains a space centre (the Karl Marx Space Centre) to launch satellites and even the occasional shuttle-type craft into space. Our space program exists but has been scaled down in recent years as funds are channeled elsewhere.
