The main purposes of this mission are to:
1: Establish a Moon Base, for scientific purposes, on behalf of The Commonwealth
2: Establish a Moon Base, in order to base space weapons of the commonwealth in a secure location
3: Research the geography of The Moon
4: Research the geology of The Moon

The Governing Body of this mission, otherwise known as the Minerva 1 Executive Team, are:

President (official and superior head of the Mission): Charles, Valtamrei
Liaison (assistant to the President): Edward, Valtamrei
Administrator (responsible for day to day running of the mission, along with preparation for the Mission): Lemmingtopias, Atlantis
Director of Scientific Affairs (responsible for Science Personnel and Scientific Research): Zander, Valtamrei
Director of Engineering (responsible for the upkeep of equipment and the launch of the rockets): Seaside, Valtamrei

Director of Resources (responsible for food, medical care, energy/power and other basic resources): 7185514, Valtamrei
Director of the Interior (responsible for cleaning, the availability of sleeping quarters and public areas etc): Sol Alasdair, Atlantis

Forum members taking part in mission:
Charles, Valtamrei
Lemmingtopias, Atlantis
zander, Valtamrei
Seaside, Valtamrei
Mestra, Atlantis
7185514, Valtamrei
Sol Alasdair, Atlantis
Ironicness, Atrigeas
Edward, Valtamrei


Mission Organisation (registration of participants, appointment of executive team, creation of mission time table):
Started: Once Topic Was Posted
Ends: 23:00 GMT, 7th august 2012

Mission Preparation (participants contribute resources to the mission, mission is planned, while private missions of participants are declared):
Started: 23:00 GMT 7th august 2012
Ended: To be determined

Mission Time Table (Time table of actual mission, from lauch, until end of mission): To be determined

Participants may now discuss the minerva mission, and what each participant is contributing (this is roleplay, so contributions are dependant on ns tracker statistics of each participant nation. For example, my military is 10,000,000 in size, so i cannot contribute more than 10,000,000 military units . Monetary contribution comes from the government budget of contributing nations. each particpant can contribute anything from research, to money etc, but must contribute something.

The Mestran government ordered the transfer of 6500 military personal from the Mestran Central Command to Minerva Central Operations. The bulk of these military personal were soldiers assigned to guard and protect the various sites used by the Program. Additionally, training officers were dispatched to provide military, aerospace, and zero G training to the Minerva crew.

Mestran Central Command (MCC) Procurement Office Dispatch:

Transfer 12 UZ6 Attack Choppers for site defense and protection of classified and sensitive information transfer. i.e. convoys.
Transfer 6 A98 Air Dropship Transports. (these aircraft use jet propulsion technology allowing them to land like a helicopter, but at quicker speeds. Used for transportation of personal and materials without the need of building runways.)
Transfer Sat35 Security Computer Core for integrated security of Mineverva Mission.

Personal: Flight Instructers, Pilots for training and mission candidacy. Naval personal to monitor computer systems to prevent hacking or espionage activity.

Additional assets may be requested:

Ministry of the Treasury:
Mestran is transfering 1.1 trillion Credits (1.9 trillion USD) to Commonwealth Space Program.

Good. First of all, we need to decide how many rockets we are sending up on the main mission alone (to carry all personall working to construct the minerva base), along with personnel and resources etc. it is only then that participants may contribute. It would also be interesting for participants to know that they are allowed to send their own subsidiary missions to the moon along with the main mission. If you choose your own mission aswell, you must declare it's purpose, and what resources you are directing for use in your own mission.

The privilage of main launch facility is awarded to Seaside. There will be smaller launch sites throughout the commonwealth.

Here is my declaration of Private Mission:

It is in Croxoco's interests that, along with the Minerva Moon Mission, a subsidiary mission exclusively under Croxoconian juristiction, known as Project Pioneer, shall be established. The Purposes of this mission are:
1: To establish a Crox-Lab research base on the Moon
2: To establish a Helion military base, to promote Croxoco's defences. This base will broadcast the ARCHIMEDES II defence program to all Croxoconian Defence Satellites in range of the signal transmitters.
3: To collect samples of moon rock for study back on Earth
4: To map and chart precise geographical features of the Moon

It is in this subsidiary mission that i declare the following resources:
8 Saturn V rockets, each at a cost of 2 Billion Lire, for the transportation of personnel to the Moon
14 Titan IIIC-Centaur rockets, each at a cost of 1.3 Billion Lire, for the transportation of Crox-Lab Components to the Moon
A further 4 Titan IIIC-Centaur rockets, each at a cost of 1.3 Billion Lire, for the transportation of the Helion Base Components
16 Titan IIIC-MOL rockets, each at a cost of 0.9 Billion Lire, for the launch of the Poseidon I system of defence satellites
16 Poseidon Satellites, each at a cost of 1.8 Billion Lire, for the defence of Croxoco
1 Crox-Lab, at a cost of 8.3 Billion Lire, for lunar research
1 Helion Base, at a cost of 4 Billion Lire, for transmitting the ARCHIMEDES II software to the Poseidon I defence satellite system.
Life Insurance for 48 personnel, each at a cost of 15 Million Lire
144 SK-1 space suits (3 per person), each at a cost of 125 Million Lire
4 Titan IIC rockets, each at a cost of 0.75 Billion Lire, for the transportation of 2 moon buggies, and 2 moon rovers
2 moon buggies, each at a cost of 0.6 Billion Lire, service as vehicles for the mission crew
2 moon rovers, each at a cost of 1 Billion Lire, for the study of the surface of the Moon
Launch Facility, at a cost of 21 Billion Lire, for mission command etc
144 emloyment wages of the crew, each at a cost of 10 Million Lire
Wages of Earth Based personnel, at a total of 2 Billion Lire
Cost of medical care and resources such as food and clothes, used by crew and mission command, at a total of 18 Billion Lire
Cost of training programs for crew, at a total cost of 0.48 Billion Lire

Total cost of Subsidiary Mission (funds drawn from government wast and the defence budget):
In Lire: £165,740,000,000
In USD: $63,445,272,000

My part:
Food: mostly fruit/befits grown in a greenhouse, quite a few ogegen tanks will be brought up to fulfill our needs, the plants will do the rest
Water: hydrogen powerplants [very small] will be used to make power, this is reusable as the input is water and the output is also water.
Medical needs, basic. Bandaids and gauze as well as neosporin.
Also contributing rocket engineers and rockets that have already been to the moon and back [nothing on this scale of course]

OOC: I think we should formalize a name for the Space Administration. Further I don't believe that any nation should be allowed to build any form of Military weaponry or military bases in space, on the moon, or any planetoid, asteroid, or gas planet. Such actions could be viewed as threats and could result in similar instances involving Neo-Mega's orbital weaponry RP post.

Mestran Mission: (Co-Op)

The Mestran government will be diverting 300 billion Credits (529 billion USD) to the Phoenix Program. This program will involve the research and development of long range propulsion technology and a new ship design. It is the goal of the Mestran government to be ready to launch in 3 years. The Phoenix Program will involve the capturing and establishment of a mining facility within the Asteroid Belt. This mining facility shall be utilized to mine precious metals that will be transported back to Earth and to moon for construction of a Lunar colony. Earth bound metals will be sold to Commonwealth member states to help the Mestran Government to offset the cost of the Program and to fund future missions.

Phase II of the Program will be involve sending materials from the Mining Facilities in the Asteroid Belt to Jupiter where a fueling station and construction yard will be constructed. These facilities will be used to construct larger space craft and to provide for future space missions to the planets in the solar system and beyond.

Phase II of the program will require research and development into Faster than light travel. Allowing humanity to move beyond our solar system. This Phase is not expected to be initiated for several decades.

The Mestran government is open to allowing other nations to participate in this Program as its benefits are for the good of all.

The POSEIDON I defensive satellite system is for the protection of the commonwealth. A further 45 Poseidon Satellites will be launched. Afterwich the Helion Base on the Moon, will start Broadcasting the ARCHIMEDES III software to all satellites within range. 12 Communications satellites will also be launched after the mission, these will also broadcast the ARCHIMEDES III software. Again, i must stress, that the POSEIDON I system of satellites is for the defence of the commonwealth, and as such will only be used if both I, and the appropriate commonwealth authority, jointly authorise the use of the software (so no one can authorise use without support of the other party, the parties being me and the other being what would be in effect, the executive council of the commonwealth). As for Croxoco's Defences, there will be 20 Poseidon Satellites, making up the Poseidon II defence system. These Satellites will be armed with the ARCHIMEDES IV program, along with a further 5 communication's satellites. Croxoco is also ready to construct a system of Poseidon III Satellites, for the protection of the moon from being impacted from meteors, aswell other falling objects.

Please see my ingame national factbook for detail into the ARCHIMEDES software.

Croxoco is also developing the following:
Croxoconian Corvette: A slicker version of the Corellian Corvette
Eden Base: A permanent colony, based on the Eden Project, cornwall, england (realtime)
Advanced Terraforming Tech: concentrations of vital gases, released within eden bases.

These advances should be developed in 10 roleplay years (5 months real time, a roleplay year being 2 weeks realtime, in this topic only).

Rockets etc are being constructed at various sites, so the subsidiary mission should be ready in 4 roleplay years, along with contributions to the main mission.

Ironicness
The Ironic government ordered the transfer of 2,000 military personnel to Minerva Central Operations. Included in this was an elite force of 150 agents that were taken from the IEX, the most elite security force in the Commonwealth. These agents were designated to offer protection to the main members of each team.

Other dispatches were flight instructors from the Ironic Air Force.

Unfortunately, due to a recent cyberhacker risk the government can not transfer any money at the moment by regulation of Trweasury Minister Charles Butler. As soon as it's cleared up, though, there will be a second shipment.

Unfortunately for you, the main mission is still to be planned, and will not take place for another 6 weeks (realtime) / 3 years (roleplay time).
If you have your own space program, that is fine, but as of yet, there is nothing of minerva's equipment in space at this yime, for resources are still under construction. Any subsidiary missions, operating under minerva, must be declared to the executive team, with no classifications. This rule has been publicised by the fact that Croxoco has declared that it is launching the Poseidon 1 defence system, equipped with the ARCHIMEDES II, then upon completion of the minerva mission, ARCHIMEDES III defence software (see Croxoco's ingame factbook for more information on tech used by Croxoco).

Also, we need to discuss, before we contribute to the main mission, precisely how many people we are sending up etc. Because resources are cheap in my Nation, i would be quite happy with building all launch systems (including, but not limited to Saturn V rockets).

To Mestra: This topic is for the minerva mission only. Asteroid mining missions should be placed on other topics, also, there is no central space authority, only an authority presiding over each individual mission. The authority presiding over the minerva 1 mission, is the minerva 1 executive team. Also, every member of the forum has the right to start other space missions, completely independant of, thus not subsidiary to, the minerva missions, or any missions laid down by me.

Other Notes:

Due to a recent breakthrough, The following technologies have been fully developed, due to classified activity:
Croxoconian Corvette
Eden Base
Terraforming Sphere (very advanced terraforming technology)

Croxoco has also started developing, at quick pace, again due to the same classified activity, larger, faster, and more effective space craft.

This tech will be published on my ingame factbook.

Ironic Minister of Defense Dr. Kyle Luptow sent the following transmission to the Minerva Operations center:

"While space missions aren't my area of expertise, I should think that the Minerva mission may want to look into the Neo-Megatopian space weapon threat. Security and defense IS my area, and in my experience, the scene needs to be clear before anything happens on it. Will Minerva interfere with a bunch of deadly satellites? Will they interfere with you? I fully support this operation and hope it goes through amazingly."

While we appreciate that, the goal was to work out the problem democratically. Perhaps Croxoco would like to join the Convention.

Croxoco does not see Neo Megatopia as a threat, mainly because their is no emnity between us, an the Neo-Megatopian orbital weapons system is not a threat to Croxoco or it's space enterprises, especially since the Poseidon 1 System has been launched. For the good of the commonwealth, Croxoco will join the Convention
