Launch Platforms of the Shazbotdom Imperial Space Administration
Description Coming Soon.
Orbital Science Space Station
The Orbital Science Space Station is the primary orbital laboratory for the Shazbotdom Imperial Space Agency. most of the Scientific Research on this station is for Scientific and Medical reasons, with such things as Cancer Research, experimental Biomedical Mesh system for replacement of body parts, as well as many other things. The Empire is opened up to having Scientists from friendly nations to be sent up to the space station to assist in, or bring up their own, research projects.
Crew Capacity
As it currently stands, the Space Station has enough living quarters for up to 20 Scientists at a maxiumum, but can be operated with a minimum of 5 to 7 Scientists. Each Scientist will be in orbit for a minimum of 3 months, but can be up for a maxiumum of 19 months. This is due to equipment on the station that will allow them to get in a workout regiment to ensure minimal loss of muscle mass.
Manufacture and Assembly
Manufacture of the facitlies of the O.S.S.S. was done at a total of 6 facilites across the Empire and those segments were shipped to the George A. Loak Memorial Space Station, where they were held in storage until they were launched. It took a total of 13 Launches to complete the assembly of the Space Station to the point it is today. As of right now, there is no plan on expansion of the Orbital Scientific Space Station, but things might change as the need for research in orbit around the planet expands in the future.
High Orbital Transfer Station
Currently under construction, this station will assist in the transfer of crews to and from Earth to the future Colonial Holdings on Luna, Venus, and Mars, as soon as those facilities are built. There is no expected completion date as it is a work in progress and will most likely have parts added onto it over the years after the completion date, to the point in which the H.O.T.S. will never be completed in the traditional sense, and may even become a perminant high orbital colonial holding if necessary.
Crew
As of right now, it is planned for a rotation crew compliment of roughly 30 individuals to ensure that the systems of the H.O.T.S. continue to operate at maxiumum capacity, with temporary lodging for up to 100 individuals for the transfer process for the missions to the Luna, Venus, and Mars. These numbers may change with the expansion of the station to ensure optimal operation of the facilities into the future.
The Building Process
Currently, most of the sections for the Space Station will be launched into orbit utilizing the Low to Mid Orbit Launch System. The larger section, such as the upcomming launch of the Solar Panel Array, will utilize the HLS System to get those large parts to orbit and docked with the station. As of right now, a total of 5 Sections have been launched on 3 Missions.

Capsule
- The high tech Capsules of the Imperial Space Administration are nearly 100% automated in terms of it's orbital capabilities. With most information shown on touch-screen displays within arms reach of the seats. There is a manual joystick behind a door underneith the center display. This joystick is just in case that there is an issue with the onboard computer and it is needed to manually dock or undock with the Space Station. While it does not have any thrusters of it's own, it is able to roll and pitches so that the heat shield is always pointed towards the right direction so that it doesn't burn up upon re-entry.
- The Capsule's heat shield is designed so that the Capsule and Heat Sheild have a hatch at the bottom that is automated and can create a airtight seal to ensure that no damage occurs to the underside of the Capsule. This design is to ensure that if something occurs with whatever vehicle is transporting the Capsule to orbit (i.e. the Epsilon-class Orbiter that is used to transport to the Research Space Station) can be detatched so that the Capsule can return to earth with minimal to no issues, losing only the Service Module that makes up the Orbiter.
