Welcome to Cayngrad Corporation, a company invested in the advancement of science, for all mankind.

Recently, we have just founded our space division of Cayngrad Corporation, called Cayngrad Space Technologies. We have gotten hard to work, starting the Mars Reconnaissance and Colonization Plan, or MRCP. The first few missions will be experimental technologies, before we begin colonization. To begin, we have:

MRCP 1:
Rocket: One off rocket. 2 stages.
Payload: Rover, nicknamed Messenger.

[News Report]

In March of this year, Cayngrad Corporation bought Lovespace Industries for $1.2 million USD. Then, just last week during a press conference, Cayngrad Corporation publicly announced their new subdivision, Cayngrad Space Technologies. Along with this new subdivision, they have also announced their plans to go to Mars, which they call the Mars Reconnaissance and Colonization Plan, or MRCP. They then showed their early success of launching the rover "Messenger" to the red planet for MRCP 1. We will share more as this story develops.

Report: Due to failures in calculations, the craft went off course, heading towards the Mars surface, instead of just above the atmosphere. We decided to salvage the mission. Unfortunately, one of the landing legs was broken on landing.
