Clockwise: Light Arrow rocket, Alouette satellite, the agency logo Should have Canada pursued an independent rocket launch system ? Half of the country would say yes, while the other would say no. It's easy to look at the 1.3 billion of total cost and see better use for it, be in healthcare...

The American dream Space Station Freedom, the largest space station (and last remaining since 2014), saw birth ironically with both the Soviet ''Zvezda'' and ''Mir'' space stations. With the Russian abandoning any attempt at Moon landing, the Apollo program became more and more hollow, looking...

The Soviet dream Already in 1972 when ''Zvezda'' was living its last moments, the Soviet engineers were planning its replacement. With their newfound experience with space assembly, they wholeheartedly embraced the modular design but this time, they learned from their mistakes; namely that...

The success of Zarya allowed the second stage of the pre-Almaz stations to be funded. This time, Petrov was planning for the first modular space station, with separate dedicated module. But first, he knew he needed to replicate the American achievement of connecing two space craft together in...

The rise of the Russian space station program, the area where the Soviet then Russian government would stay ahead of the west until 2014, started with a treason in 1960. While Gagarin was climbing into space, paving the way for mankind to follow, Chelomei was planning to militarize this feat...

This is glorious

-It's from the OTL 2010 map -Uh ? I gave those to Georgia

Hi kids, do you want to garner a lethal amount of hate from Russians peoples ? Post my "Bye-bye Russia" map on your favorite social media !

Congratulation, you just made sure that France would become communist

The ambitious Canadian Lunar Mission for a long time oscillated between a paper study and a serious project. Despite a few early ideas following the US landing in 1969 and the Arrow early launch, their was no real political will. It really started to become serious when the Canadian government...

What company in ITTL Canada build it and the rocket family name EDIT:

Look at the rocket name and the main company building it ;)

I'm surprised nobody got the pun with the rocket name x'D

Thank you very much for your comment, I'm happy someone caught up the Castor "easter egg" ;). At first I wanted to make a much more ambitious Canadian program with a small space station and even a lunar landing but then I wanted to match the Arrow rocket to the "Space Station-verse" I had...

Should have Canada pursued an independent rocket launch system ? Half of the country would say yes, while the other would say no. It's easy to look at the 1.3 billion of total cost and see better use for it, be in healthcare, infrastructure or social programs, but the defenders would point to...

(It might be self-serving x'D) Probably made by England since it focus on the navy and it would glorify the RN and MN (Marine Nationale/French Navy) EDIT: Their would probably be a form of rivalry between the RN and MN fleet girls and the KM (Kaiserlicht Marine) and the USN ones

You guys can thanks @Hammerbolt for this next one :) The Avro Crossbow CF-106 Mk.2 was made following re-tech after the first Crossbow operations. Both its role as a long range interceptor and Velvet Glove platform meant that it needed a larger and more powerful radar. An improved radar and...

Thanks for the constructive comments, while you are 100% right about the air intake and nose cone, I kinda wanted to give it a MiG 21 look for aesthetic purposes. Although I might do an ''improved version'' with these facts in mind.

A cheaper replacement for the Avro Arrow, the Avro Crossbow is built around an improved and enlarged Iroquois engine called the Orenda PS. 16 Huron. While peaking at mach 1.84, far from the Arrow supposed 2.2, the Crossbow was not only much cheaper with a single engine but also had a longer...

France would have not declared war, its only chance was a two-front war to split the German army. Alone, Russia would have either pursue a more diplomatic approach with Austria or saber-rattle without any commitments Of course this is if Germany keep aligning with Austria, a non-French aligned...
