I don’t know if being that far from the equator is actually a problem. It’s no further than Cape Canaveral and the UKs first spaceport is in the far north of Scotland.

The closer to the equator, the less fuel is needed, so if possible, I believe the CPSC would have chosen such a location. But you're right, Cape Canaveral isn't farther away than Montacia, so it's not critical having the spaceport at the equator.

There are other benefits having a spaceport closer to the poles.

The CPSC would realistically choose a spaceport closer to the equator but it would be unlikely they'd choose a place that's been recently unstable in the past few years (if I understand the Ryccia issue correctly) due to opposition from member states and concerns over the safety of staff. Cape Canaveral, for example, is far from the equator yet its used a lot, so distance from the equator isn't that big of an issue.

There may could have been an additional space port around north-eastern Besern. A large space for a space port could have been reserved probably in southeastern Rungenbouen or eastern Haoene-Zersbach inland to serve as a second space port, which is near the equator. When was the period of instability within Ryccia?

Not sure. From 2013 onward? Depends on what has been retconned and what Ryccia's history is post-GW.

Time to bump up this thread. I made a suggestion for the manned missions. Let me know what you think about it. I choose the naming to be fairly straightforward and perhaps not as stellar as the Mercury Program nor did I have any idea of an overarching mythology to name these.

Approved, possibly except for Minima, which may be too small.
