Historical Events

• The DY-110 Apex mission spacecraft enters service with the Great Khanate, running space trials between Earth and Luna for the first 2 years.

• The Saturn Dual Probe, launched in 1985, arrives at the Sol System’s great Ringed Planet. Its orbiter begins making a detailed survey of the planet and its moons while a heavily shielded lander attempts to penetrate its dense atmosphere. The probe is eventually destroyed by the ever-increasing pressure; however, it relays constant telemetry on its descent up to the point of its demise.

• The final crews of the DY-50 series (Shuguang and Shenzhou) depart their respective vessels.

• Production of the DY-A1 launch booster ceases.

• The DY-A1 launch booster is replaced in operations by the DY-A2.
