At T+5 minutes the second stage engine burnt out, completing its job. Solid motors on the sides of the 2nd stage began to roll the rocket around, stabilizing it as it separated and ignited the 3rd solid kick stage.

		+	The first success wouldn't come until the initial test flight of a new liquid upper stage, developed by the airforce, the Tyr missile lower stage powering an Aramore upper stage, which contained a camera for basic intelligence gathering over [[Chikushinal]]. The announcement of a Central Kafrican satellite came from [[Zokesia\|Zokesian]] Signals Intelligence. A triumphant embarrassment for the Drimp administration, the more civilian scientific side had been uprooted by the militaristic space opportunism of having eyes above the SS occupied territory.

	On the 100th day of the Army's challenge to put a satellite in Low Kerbin Orbit, New Grunt 1 was ready and waiting at the pad by 2am that morning, following final prelaunch checks the GO was given for flight. At 9am sharp, the engine of the Jane-C ignited successfully, the missile rising up into the atmosphere of Kerbin swifter than the Navy's Forerunner rocket. Yet unknown to the engineers and technicians on the ground, an electrical transient, caused by a high voltage spike from the rocket's jerk, in the communication system of the launch vehicle had occurred 6 seconds into the flight. With no commands being sent for a period of 3 seconds, and an altitude less than 100,000ft the engine cut, ending any hope the army had at reaching orbit on its first attempt.

	In December of 2199, Central Kafrica found itself embarrassed by the televised failure of the Forerunner 1 launch, with the vehicle successfully igniting the gimbaling Eloh Engine, only for the rocket to keel over and partially destroy the pad, the approval to launch had been given by the outgoing Reguwu Administration, its last official act before it began the transition of power to Blimp Drimp and his cabinet. It was an international disrobement of the apparent incompetence of Kafrican Engineering. While the Coastal Defense Force investigated the incident, the Army was given the go ahead by the President Elect to use a modified Jane Missile to launch a small satellite within 100 days of the request. On March 20th 2200, the Army conducted a flight of the Jane-A PGM-11 Missile, wanting to secure the reliability of the main stage that would carry its satellite, New Grunt, which was scheduled for launch sometime in April.

Media reported and speculated for the week prior to the launch that the rocket boosters contained within the third solid stage was defective and the Coastal Defense Force had been severely undercutting the cost to its subcontractors. The 2nd flight of the Kafrican space program took off from Canfield-Teora Missile test range on the night of April 1st, rising skywards successfully for around 90 seconds before its engine weakened. Wanting to ensure that staging and second stage relight could be done in challenging conditions the Range Safety Officer allowed for Forerunner to reach this point in its flight. The first stage detached successfully and the 2nd stage engine ignited just as reliably as the first before the vehicle lost control, this was expected with the low altitude separation event. The RSO consequently terminated the flight and it splashed down in the Bay of Kafrica a few short minutes later.

The '''Federal Space Administration of Kafrica''' ('''FASK''') is an Independent [[United States of Central Kafrica|Central Kafrican]] Federal Agency which was established by President [[Blimp Drimp]] in the Space Exploration act of 2201. The agency is responsible for Central Kafrica's civil space program and research into advanced aeronautical concepts.
