Launch Timeline
Hey TWIslanders, welcome to the official (by the power vested in me by me taking the initiative to do make it) planning thread for the potential Western Isles Space Station (real talk, we've been calling it the TWISS but that creates an awkward the The construction when you say out the full acronym, let's consider a different name like the Regional Space Station). Other things we should address include fundamental questions of administration and funding, which are discussions we can take to IC threads such as the League or ACESTI if we want to have some fun drama (or constructive compromise?) or simply hash out OOC here.
I've included some relevant factbooks on the matter, because if I'm being real, I expect you to have pertinent factbooks if you want to participate in a meaningful capacity. Polar and I put a lot of work into the CSJSS, and I would like to see similar levels of commitment on this project, simply because this is an important regional milestone and is something I would like to see done well. If we do a good job now, we could create an interesting RP environment and potentially a political football going forward.
Space Programs:
ANSA by Alteran Republics
PSSA by Polar Svalbard
Rockets:
Constelación II by Corindia
Satellites and other orbital Projects:
IslesNet by Athara Magarat
Corindi-Svalbardian Joint Space Station by Corindia
(There are plenty of other good factbooks on these subjects in the region, these are simply the first ones I could find, and I did not mean to exclude anybody!)
Alright now, I'm leaving this in your hands now, TWI! Just a few pointers, we should figure out the name, funding, administration, contribution of modules, contribution of astronauts, and relationship to the existing CSJSS. Keep in mind that simple tags are likely to be deleted, so if you want to follow this, drop a link to your factbooks or explain your interest in the project!
