ABOUT US

TASA is the Trilateral Alliance's joint space program, tasked with continuing the scientific progress and expanding humanity's understanding of the universe. To this purpose, TASA operates a wide range of cutting-edge spacecraft, for manned and unmanned missions. With recent milestones such as the launch of Space Station Concordia and the Zenith missions to the moon and currently developing new technologies that will enable the permanent human habitation of the moon, TASA is widely considered to be one of the most advanced space programs in the world. Through the Commercial Spaceflight Division, we are offering access to these technologies, to the international market and thus, opening space to the private sector on a scale never seen before.

OUR FLEET OF SPACECRAFT

Aurora 5 Rocket

Height: 45.6 meters
Diameter: 3.25 meters
Mass: 308,000 kg
Number of Stages: 2

Part of the Aurora family of rockets, the Aurora 5 is an evolution of the tried and tested rocket which launched Carpathia's first satellite into space. It is a two-stage rocket, fueled by a liquid oxygen-kerosene mixture and four radially-mounted, detachable solid rocket boosters. The lower stage is powered by an LVT-781 "Executor" rocket engine, while the upper stage by an LVT-791, very similar to the 781. The primary role of the Aurora rocket is to launch light payloads into orbit.

Prospect 2S Rocket

Height: 58.3 meters
Diameter: 3.81 meters
Mass: 334,500 kg
Number of Stages: 3

The Prospect 2S is the most modern version of the human-rated, partially-reusable Prospect family of rockets. Originally designed as a launch platform for the Revoluția two-man spacecraft, it has been relegated to the role of medium cargo lifter, after the completion of the space shuttle and its subsequent entry into service. Its predecessor, the Prospect 2C, has been used to launch and assemble TASA's Concordia Space Station. Its lower stage is powered by a pair of RVT-91 engines, the second stage by a single RVT-100 engine and the upper stage by a trio of RVT-6 engines. It is fueled by kerosene, with liquid oxygen as an oxidizer.

Progres Rocket

Height: 104.3 m meters
Diameter: 10.3 m meters
Mass: 2,900,000 kg
Number of Stages: 3

The Progres rocket is a human-rated rocket developed for TASA's Zenith moon program, also used as a super-heavy lifter capable of delivering massive payloads into various orbits. The rocket is exclusively-liquid fueled (including the detachable boosters) and is 70% reusable, with the boosters and two lower stages being recoverable. Its lower stage is powered by a four extremely powerful RVT-200 engines, with the boosters being powered by one RVT-150 engine, each. Second stage is powered by a massive SpaceLift SL-80 engine and its upper stage by an RVT-OTE110 engine.

TASA Space Shuttle

SOON AVAILABLE FOR COMMERCIAL LAUNCHES

TASA's fleet of shuttles was inaugurated in 1573 and currently consists of two vehicles, the Ceaușescu and Perov. The TASA space shuttle is a highly sophisticated, cutting-edge reusable spaceplane capable of carrying five cosmonauts into orbit and a small cargo. Its highly-aerodynamic design and computerized fly-by-wire systems, give it improved stability over competing designs from other agencies. It is also capable of returning to Siora under its own power, as the reusable launch stage contains its own engines.

Progres 2 Launch System

IN DEVELOPMENT

In 1577, TASA revolutionized commercial space flight by introducing its Progres Launch System, famous for being the rocket which put Carpathia and the Monroe Republic on the moon, to the private sector. Building up on the experience gained from the original Progres, TASA is now developing a successor. Designed for lifting the heavy loads required for TASA's Moon Base program, when complete, the Progres 2 will be the biggest, most powerful rocket ever built.
