Historical Events

• The Lewis and Clark returns to Earth from the Aventeur I mission. The evidence of extraterrestrial mining on Saturn's moons is released to select space-exploration nations. This concludes the Grand Tour.

The release of the information only to select nations is to reflect the presumed lack of knowledge of alien life at the time of First Contact in 2063.

• The DY-140 Helsinki mission spacecraft enters service with the International Space Agency.

• Approach communications between Western Alliance spacecraft on resupply duty and a certain Aphrodite waystation owned by a reclusive Earth magnate unexpectedly ceases.
