There are two missions that I want to discuss:
1. Operation Xmas, to land on Luna with a crew, was a complete success with around 4 kilometers of total EVA.
2. The unmanned Cylero Lander 1 (included) also reached its target with few complications. One of the engines broke on landing, but that didn’t impact the mission. The craft was even still able to fly short distances on the surface of Cylero. These were some of the most important missions ever attempted by Epsilon, Inc. and they have paved the way for future Luna and Cylero bases.
In other news, our primary goal has changed. In the beginning, the objective was to build a colony on Cylero, but we decided to think bigger and attempt a base somewhere in the outer solar system. Nebra and Taurus are likely targets, and the base will likely be accompanied by a large space station. By this point, the Aleph 3 will be our primary system, or even a future improved variant such as the proposed Aleph 4 or the Epsilon series. These are still a long ways off, however. In the meantime, the Cylero colony will still be constructed.
For now, enjoy your own copy of the Cylero Lander 1!
