Terra's Orbit
June 2nd 4928
In a historic mission 3 Dolgavan astronauts are orbiting Terra in a mission that Dolgava is calling "a historic moment". Yesterday at 1:34 pm local time a modified Reditus l similar to planned rocket modules for moon missions launched without delay into Terra's orbit. The event was watched by thousands of onlookers and my millions on television sets and the internet. The three astronauts Juļjāns Kronbergs, Eldijs Melngailis and Raigo Aasmae all were videoed as they made their way through Terra's atmosphere and into orbit. Once in orbit the astronauts and the country was greeted by beautiful breathtaking scenes. The space craft will spend 5 days in orbit before departing back to Dolgava.
So far the astronauts have circled Terra several times. Passing over amazing landscapes and these images have been sent back to Dolgava's many science and governmental magazines. Two Astronauts, Juļjāns Kronbergs and Raigo Aasmae even made spacewalks outside the capsule as it orbited Terra.
Hugamest the Endralonian Capital as seen from space. The photo was taken from the window of the spacecraft as it passed over Endralon at night.
The astronauts also conducted an interview from their high flying craft. The leader of the mission Captain Raigo Aasmae said in an interview.
These past two days have been nothing short of exceptional. All those atlas's and those images from space are nothing compared to seeing the real thing. As a little boy I would look up to the stars. Not thinking that someday I would conduct an interview in the stars. I must say this trip has been absolutely magnificent. We have had a comfortable and cramped experience but mainly comfortable. We have taken many images of cities, landscapes and oceans all over Terra. It has been amazing to see mankind down below as we circle high above in space. It has taken a while but for me and my comrades we probably still can't comprehend exactly what is going on in a sense. It is so breathtaking, so epic, so surreal that it blows our minds away. Totally a once in a lifetime trip and I am so happy to be here right now!
The DSA director also spoke with the astronauts along with the King, Princess and Prime Minister. Also a group of schoolchildren were able to talk to the astronauts as well as hundreds of amateur radio operators across Terra.
Mr. Aasmae goes on by saying
Oh yes we have talked to many people as we have orbited. As a licensed Ham Radio operator in Dolgava I have talked in Luthorian to many people across Terra, I talked to several Kalistanis, a few Endralonians, as well as Hutorians and also Dolgavans as well just to name a few
The astronauts are also conducting several experiments that grounds crews need to future moon missions and this will be the first of several such missions to prepare astronauts for the moons, a much more daunting mission. The mission has been must watch television across Dolgava and millions from across Terra have watched live streams on the internet. In 5 months another crew will make their way here but with all missions, the first one is the most important, the most daring and the most watched event. We Congratulate the Dolgavan men that have risked their lives to further science and we wish them the best as they stay in space and make their way home!
