May, 5624

The new Center for Satellites and Space Navigation will be a major research and development component of satellite technology.

Dorvish Minister of Science and Technology Tristan Obst (SNP) announced the opening of a new state-of-the-art manufacturing and launch facility located in the mountains of Westmark. The Dorvish pioneered satellite navigation technology and are responsible for the widely utilized Terran Positioning System (TPS), it is utilized across the globe and has been in service for several millennium. The Dorvish have, for the past two decades, worked on a series of replacements for TPS-related satellites at great expense to the Dorvish taxpayer but the service provided is far too valuable to be halted. In recent decades there have been competition but none come close to the TPS and its overall success or longevity. The new facility, located in the mountains of Westmark will be focused on research, development and ultimately production of satellites destined to be a component of TPS. The facility, which will be overseen by the Dorvish Aerospace Service, the Dorvish Ministry of Science and Technology as well as the Westmark Provincial Ministry of Science and Technology will be the first of its kind within Dorvik. It will centralize a series of facilities located throughout Dorvik as well as bring together some of the worlds top engineers and researchers in the field. The facility will also be home to the new Center for Satellites and Space Navigation which will work to bring together the best and brightest in the field, open to all those who are interested in contributing to the continued success of the program.

The program, coined as "Celestial Navigation", will be completed in phases over the course of the next 5 to 7 years with launch facilities being given priority to replace aging launch facilities in Dorvan and in Greater Kordusia. The Center for Satellites and Space Navigation will break ground separately and is expected to be completed on a similar timeline as the launch facilities associated with "Celestial Navigation".
