1gSpace Mission Overview
1gSpace initiates its interstellar operations with the deployment of the Alpha Centauri Exploratory Probe (ACEP), a 49-ton, 17-meter autonomous platform tasked with surveying Proxima b, located 4.24 light-years from the Solar System. ACEP's primary objectives are to define landing parameters, map surface and subsurface resources, characterize atmospheric and magnetic field profiles, produce a full-surface photogrammetric mapping and validate core propulsion and control technologies for subsequent missions.
Propulsion is provided by a DCMCAAFR reactor, rated for up to 375 MW thermal output. Command and system management are handled by AURAI, comprising dual-instance AI clusters operating in lock-step consensus. Each instance executes predictive fault analysis, dynamic control optimization, and autonomous subsystem reconfiguration without ground intervention. Scientific payloads include multispectral imaging arrays, LIDAR, magnetometric instrumentation, in-situ atmospheric analysis units, and the ACEP Atmos descender. All collected data are packetized, prioritized, and transmitted via the SKOJITOX laser communication system.
The New World
The 320m-long, human-rated ISV Innes will deploy the first multidisciplinary team of 10 astronauts to Proxima b, tasked with establishing the initial human footprint on the planet. This crew will conduct detailed site evaluations, deploy basic robotic systems, and initiate baseline environmental assessments. Their objectives include establishing critical infrastructure, such as surface communication arrays and life support emergency systems.
Following the landing, the unmanned and much larger ISV Anglada will deliver modular assets essential for long-term habitation. Its cargo includes deployable habitats, power generation units, resource processing systems, and structural components for the first settlement base, designated Eternal Sunset. Located for optimal access to local resources and environmental stability, Eternal Sunset will serve as the operational center for early colony development. The phased coordination between Innes and Anglada missions forms the foundation for scalable, resilient interstellar colonization.
Sustainable Future
The final operational phase of the 1gSpace mission initiates permanent settlement on Proxima b. A colony-class interstellar transport, configured to carry 5,000 personnel, will establish the first sustained human presence beyond the Solar System. The transported population, selected for technical and scientific specialization, will expand the Eternal Sunset base, located within the equatorial twilight region where constant thermal and radiative conditions prevail due to tidal locking. Initial operations will prioritize environmental stabilization, habitat expansion, and autonomous life-support deployment. Indigenous water, mineral resources, and solar energy will support modular construction, closed-loop ecological systems, and AI-directed logistics without reliance on external inputs.
Upon achieving operational stability, a second installation, designated Eternal Sunrise, will be constructed entirely from materials extracted and processed on Proxima b. This development phase marks the transition to complete technological self-sufficiency, validating models for independent extraterrestrial expansion. The 1gSpace mission constitutes a systematic extension of human civilization, implemented through predictive resource management, autonomous infrastructure generation, and closed-ecology engineering under interstellar operational constraints.
