The DECO-A1 spacecraft succesfully landed on the moon 2 days ago. When the 3 deltarian and 1 dundorfian astronauts left the spacecraft the population of both countries erupted in celebration during the first steps on the moon. For several hours the astronauts took pictures, planted a Deltarian and Dundorfian flag and took samples from the moons surface to examine it back on Terra. After those hours the astronauts were ordered back on the DECO spacecraft to launch one of the most difficult parts of the mission, the return to Terra.
After a launching sequence that took over 2 hours the DECO-A1 managed to succesfully launch back into space with the little fuel it had left. After 2 days of using hydraulics and pressurized gas to steer the craft into Terra's orbit it finally did and started to fall back down to terra eventually detaching its rocket and making a hard landing on the plains of Dissuwa.
This moment is historic for Deltaria as it is the first succesfull manned mission of the country as well as the first time a Deltarian walked on another planet. For dundorf it is also historic as one of their only astronauts was given a chance to go to the moon himself, sparking massive celebrations in Dundorf as well.
With the astronauts safe and returned the FKA has released its roadmap for the upcoming years. In addition to helping the ministry of defense in developing ballistic nuclear missiles the agency is also developing a new military satelite to be used by the military for military operations and communications. The FKA also carefully showed its desire in creating a joint space station in Terra's orbit with other countries and their respective agencies.
