Interferometry telescopy and probe flybys had already confirmed the existence of at least seven planets in the a Centauri system, assured the scientists that return propellant could be manufactured there, and hinted at the presence of carbon-based life on the fourth and seventh planets of a Centauri A.^[1]

Of the extrasolar systems visited by Earth probes, four (and the Alpha Centauri system) are chosen for manned exploration by the Columbus program.^[1]

The five Columbus series spacecraft are readied for xenosystem exploration.^[1]

Late September: A serious accident during the fueling of UNSS Columbus led to eight fatalities and damage to the spacecraft.^[1]
