Mission to the Starshot Station set for Today

29 July 2025

TERRAGUE ISLAND – The HSA administration headquarters on Terrague Island has signalled the go-ahead for the launch of three astronauts to the International Starshot Station. This is the first time humans will have boarded the station since it was placed in orbit earlier this month. The astronauts Daavid Mikkola, Usko Litmanen, and Jani Mäenpää said in an interview on HNS-12 (HNS broadcaster for the broader Hubdovan Archipelago area) that they were incredibly excited and honoured to take part in this historic mission, being the first to board one of the first internationally available space stations. They are set to launch at 13:00 this afternoon with expected high viewership from not only Hubdova, but across the globe.

The three astronauts’ mission is to repair any and all parts that may have been damaged on the trip up. After that, they are set to boot up the station, testing all the components, from the toilets all the way to the life support. This will only take one week when they will reboard their capsule and descend back to Telrova.

In the future, the HSA plans to send up four more modules to be added to the station. The Alpheus Module, the Nerissä Module, the Argon Module, and the Gleykneid Module will add all sorts of commodities and instruments to the station including space and Telrova facing telescopes, diplomatic quarters, biological and chemical testing labs, among many others.

Along with the astronauts, the mission will service the station with the necessary supplies to support human life. This includes freshwater and nonperishable food items such as jerky and saltines as well as repair kits for fixing bits of the station that may malfunction.
