Rattanjeetland Space Launch
Following months of careful design and planning, the Rattanjeetarr space program took off today as a large V-JEETA rocket took off from a launchpad in Fallopia province.

Although the contents of the rocket remain classified, many speculate that it may be carrying the rudimentary components of a space station as people all around the Mapp are reporting a new bright star-like object in the sky. The only two other such lights are the GX and Siggarian space stations.

The development finally puts Rattanjeetland on par with the remainder of the Great Powers technologically and firmly solidifies its place as one of the few spacefaring countries on the Mapp.
