Rengō Program

The Rengō Program (連合計画) is a joint program between the Midwayan Aerospace Exploration Agency (MAXA) and Federal Aeronautics and Space Agency (FASA). It is to include satellite launches and manned space flights, with the eventual goal being the completion of a space station. The first mission in the Rengō Program is to take place on September 25th, 2011.

Background
The scientific community in Midway was interested in constructing a space station throughout history, but the government hadn't found a reason to do so. It wasn't until Midwayan Emperor Zabuza825 showed interest in constructing a space station that it was given serious consideration. The JBRican space agency, FASA, had shown interest in outer-space missions as well, even completing the shuttle Hope. On June 24th, 2011, the Midwayan Aerospace Exploration Agency was founded and Zabuza825 immediately sent a request to JBR for the start of the Rengō Program as a joint program between JBR and Midway.
