Level 10 - Space Research & Expansion
Restart humanity's space ambitions.
This chapter focuses on the advanced technologies and processes necessary to revive and advance space exploration and development after a societal collapse. It begins with the manufacturing of sophisticated electronics, emphasizing clean room environments and lithography techniques essential for producing the microchips and components used in spacecraft and satellites. The chapter then explores the development of specialized materials critical for spaceflight, such as carbon composites and high-performance ceramics, which provide strength and heat resistance.
Next, it covers the chemistry and safe containment of rocket fuels, detailing the production and handling of propellants required for reliable and efficient launches. The construction and operation of orbital launch platforms are examined, highlighting the infrastructure needed to send payloads beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Satellite manufacturing is addressed, focusing on the assembly and testing of communication, navigation, and research satellites.
Further sections discuss the establishment of space observatories and research facilities to advance scientific knowledge and monitor space environments. Finally, the chapter emphasizes the importance of international cooperation in space science, fostering collaboration to share resources, knowledge, and technology for the benefit of all humanity’s space endeavors. Together, these topics provide a comprehensive guide to rebuilding and expanding humanity’s presence in space.
