*****DISTRESS CALL*****

Mayday Mayday Mayday, this is the ASA Shuttle Aspire. We have crash landed on Lunar on a test flight. All engines are offline. We have no EVA equipment and no recovery assets in the area. Life support is still operational but we suspect the hull is compromised.

Our coordinates are at 51 degrees, 24.3710 north, 3 degrees, 27.0116 West.

I say again, this is the the ACS Aspire of the ASA. We have crashed and are in the shit, over.



The above distress signal was received and the standing readiness team (1 Valkyrie and 3 crew) were crashed out in response. The Valkyrie is fitted with a new design of lift engines, a lifter drone rover and a prototype magnetic winch and hover system designed specifically for Luna operations.

Within minutes, the payload is fitted, certified and the Valkyrie is at full burn heading for LEO and an RV with the ASA station sitting at 50km

Prior to this, communications between the crew and the ASA station confirmed that additional fuel, logistics and supplies would be required for the mission and were blasted into LEO and docked remotely using Ark I drone rockets before the Valkyries arrival.

With the Valkyrie re-fuelled and a mini orbital tug attached, it breaks loose and powers off to the moon.

Mission complete, the ASC Aspire and her crew (including, to our surprise, the Faction President) safely docked at the ASA facility at Terran LEO

Valkyrie returned to launch site.

I made an ACS, but it is still PACS states (Prototype ACS).
I've tested it to Mars. (Note: I sent it there cause I want to see Olympus Mons again, and the President was riding there.)

this is free from SE approval cause this isn't tech, this is a Shuttle...

A new one!
ACS Proton
Carries a few ton, but it's more mobile than Aspire.

I should turn this into a mission log or something...

*cries in shame because the old Jez was more creative*

I'm currently planning a new shuttle capable of missions beyond Mars.

But at the meantime, I'll just play with my shuttle and station

I keep forgetting I should use the big wheels instead of the smol wheels...

Dosmaharnia (Spaceboy) should have his own space agency, to be honest :rolleyes: Go build your own shuttles again like before...
