The numbers and letters in the notes column refer to safety factor starting levels if similar programs have already reached 75%.

Note that when you start a new research program you get a free example of the program.

When the safety factor of a program changes, the new safety factor applies to all examples of that program from the relevant agency¹.

An astronaut program must be started at a cost of $18,000,000 before astronauts can be included on a mission (the $18,000,000 includes one astronaut). Additional astronauts can be trained at a cost $2,000,000 each.

Additional Launch Facilities can be purchased at a cost of $30,000,000. Only one launch per year can be made from each facility (unless superseded by events).

Updated 16^th May to add astronaut program and additional launch facilities.

Except in the case of sabotaged equipment traded to other agencies, where I will track the safety factor of that unit as required. Reductions of safety factor will apply to such traded units ↩
