MBO-New Sparta has been awarded a 290 million zark contract to upgrade weather reconnaissance abilities across the UNP for civil and military purposes. The contract will include new satellites across all UNP member planets with upgraded communication and reporting facilities including compatibility with the next generation fractal encrypted communication system being planned for MBO-NS.
MBO-NS spaceships will also be able to contribute to weather data recording using their existing sensors. This potentially will greatly increase coverage. Communication capacity at the MBO-NS Weather Analysis Centre at DDS City will also be upgraded.
