1: OVERVIEW

1.1: May 827

At the time of writing this report, Chesterfield Station is 3/5 through assembly. The following weeks will have Deep Space Engineering staff bring components to the complex for upgrades to the station. Two of the planned upgrades include huge sets of solar array wings. The panels will carry a large number of additional solar cells. The new segments include giant rotary joints to allow the tips of the station "backbone" to move as the massive panels track the sun. Together, the new arrays will add 50 kilowatts of power for the complex, enough electricity for what would be an additional small housing community. The increased electrical power will set the stage for the addition of the research and development laboratories.

The second planned upgrade is a research and developmental laboratory which will be a module permanently located in Chesterfield Station. It will used for conducting scientific experiments, and research and development; This facility will be the cornerstone of Deep Space Engineering’s participation in the advancement of technology in Liberty. It will be positioned on the starboard side of the Station’s leading edge. The laboratory is intended to provide an environment for pursuing research and applications development in many fields. This facility will provide accommodation for multidisciplinary research. This facility, while being smaller than some of the larger more established laboratories, offers the same volume, power, data retrieval, vacuum/venting services, etc as many others. This is achieved by careful utilization of the available volume and by sometimes compromising crew access and maintainability in favor of payload accommodation.

The recent upgrades will also allow more room to be allocated to storage facilities to expand the business opportunities with the Junker Congress and the premium scrap industry.

1.2: September 827

At the time of writing this report, Chesterfield Station is 4/5 through assembly. A number of upgrades have been planned to continue the growth of Chesterfield Station over the next few months. This will require a number of additional deliveries above what is considered to be essential supplies to build and maintain. An additional 200 engineers have been deployed to Chesterfield Station to assist in the construction of these modules, and the logistical crews have been given orders to begin transporting required goods to Chesterfield Station.

One of the projects is an additional two storage modules. The Liberty built modules will be positioned in the center of the Station’s trailing edge along with the current storage modules. These will provide additional cargo storage to allow for increased turnover of Premium Scrap and an increase in essential items such as food, and water to support the additional crew onboard the station; as well as an increase in general maintenance supplies to assist in maintaining the additional modules added to Chesterfield Station.

An additional module is being provided for the increased demand for life support systems due to the increased number of crew now living onboard Chesterfield Station. This module is known as LS3. LS3 is a pressurized module that will safely house systems pertaining to the pressurization systems, the general heating, and the oxygen distribution of the station. A hydroponics module is also under construction in an attempt to reduce the amount of food required to be imported to Chesterfield Station.

Additional research facilities are also being constructed, specifically to develop and test a variety of technologies, systems, and materials that will be needed for the advancement of space exploration and habitation.
