The Space arc · An open investigation
One of two arcs in Mission-42's Discovery atlas. Each chapter is researched against tier-1 and tier-2 sources, interrogated by the Inquiry Council, and revised in response before publication. Chapters cross-link to PANGEA for shared foundations — orbital mechanics, optics, relativity — and across to the Sea arc where the journeys mirror each other.
