Established in 2016, our very first mission will be directed towards landing on Mars. There are many more space missions that we are planning to accomodate in the future, but this mission is the only one currently funded and in action, with all information cached and documented here for the public to follow along in our endeavors. Currently we are a team of four, all specializing in different aspects of engineering to ensure this rocket will reach Mars.
