Infrastructure Overview
While the region’s five major countries have a significant number of rural residents, the vast majority of Olvana’s residents live in urban areas (87%). The country contains a mixture of modern urban cities and primitive rural villages. Modern utilities are predominantly in the major cities and at reasonable levels throughout the rural countryside. Ninety-nine percent of the nation has access to electricity with 100% of urban areas and 99.8% of rural areas respectively. Ninety-five percent of Olvana has access to potable water, while only 76.5% of the nation has access to sanitation systems, predominantly in the developed urban areas.
The Olvana infrastructure is modern and continues to improve as the urbanization continues. Significant emphasis was placed on modernizing the infrastructure in the past 20 years. Olvana has a state of the art mass transit system. The Olvanan government continues to subsidize the mass transit system to increase ridership and decrease congestion on the roads and air pollution. Airports range from large international airports that can handle almost any aircraft currently in production to small, unimproved dirt strips. Seaports are modern and can handle all modern cargo vessels. The country recently suffered from high levels of pollution in the urban areas and the government has made policies to combat pollution in urban environments. Air pollution has improved significantly but ground and water pollution are still way above acceptable western levels.
Many of the urban and suburban cities contain skyscraper buildings (many over 100m tall), apartment complexes, and residential suburbs. Typical rural construction in the north consists of stone, tamped mud or sundried bricks reinforced with straw. In the south, the typical construction is wood, brick or woven bamboo. In both areas, the roofs are typically peaked and covered in tile. Rural houses are typically built around walled courtyards. This is to provide protection from the winds and provide places to keep animals such as pigs and chickens.
Construction in Olvana’s urban areas is modern, and consists of high-rise construction and urban sprawl. The houses on the outskirts of the major urban areas are generally one to two story homes built with a courtyard in the center. The Olvanan government has invested in urban planning to ensure it is not only sustainable but with plans for growth that extend toward 5, 10, and 50 year planning cycles. Due to vast amounts of rural areas, cities are not limited to just upward construction they can also continue to expand outwards.
Urban areas benefit from modern electricity, water, sewage, and other utility services. Urban areas within Olvana also have vast subterranean networks intended for transportation and infrastructure.
Major Olvanan Cities and Urban Zones
Olvana has five major cities whose metropolitan areas account for approximately 40% of population of the nation. The average population density for Olvana is 311 pdr km2.

Shanghai
Shanghai is the capital city and largest city in Olvana. Shanghai is also the largest city in the world. It is the financial hub of Olvana and is a global powerhouse. It has the world’s longest metropolitan transportation system with 587 km of track and tunnels. The road network is modern and the hub for the national highway network. It contains Olvana’s largest port and is a center of sea commerce. The architecture is a combination of modern steel and concrete construction and buildings dating back 1,400 years. There are over 30 universities in the city with some run by the Olvanan government. Tourism plays a significant role in the economy of the city.
Chongqing
Chongqing is located 1447 km to the west of Shanghai. The city gained major importance following the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. It is built in the mountains and bordered by the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers. Chongqing has the most bridges of any area in all of Olvana with over 50 crossing the rivers, the bulk of them meeting western standards. Chongqing has 15 college and universities that range from military universities to medical schools. The city has modern skyscrapers and traditional Olvanese construction in close proximity. The downtown is a series of high-rise skyscrapers and multistory apartment buildings.
Guangzhou
Located 1447 km southwest of Shanghai, the city has been in existence for over 2,200 years and has continued to modernize throughout the years. It maintains many historic buildings and temples while becoming a modern city. The construction is concrete and steel for the skyscrapers and multistory apartment buildings. The road network is consistent with western standards. The local government continues to update the infrastructure to ensure it is capable of meeting all the demands placed on it.
Wuhan
Also located west of Shanghai, Wuhan is approximately halfway (690 km) between the capital and Chongqing. The port of Wuhan, on the Yangtze River, is currently going through a major overhaul. The Olvanan government is investing in expanding the port to increase capacity throughput from 3 berths to 22. The city has experienced a rapid growth over the past 15 years. The city planners were able to keep the infrastructure increasing at the same rate. The local government has invested heavily in environmentally friendly manufacturing and construction to decrease pollution and has made significant gains. The majority of construction is high-rise buildings for offices of steel and concrete construction. Multi story apartment buildings made of concrete and brick are found throughout the city.
Hong Kong
Hong Kong is located 1223 km south of Shanghai. The port of Hong Kong is one of the busiest ports in Olvana and the world. Three years ago, the infrastructure of Hong Kong was ranked the best in the world. The buildings throughout the city range from ones built in the late 19th century to current modern skyscrapers. As space is at a premium for construction, many old buildings have fallen into a state of disrepair and are being torn down to make way for vertical construction (skyscrapers). The main construction in the city center is modern high-rise construction. The city has a vast ferry network to transport many of the workers to the island to work every day.
Energy Sector
Over 99% of the population has access to electricity with both urban and rural populations connected to some sort of power grid. Olvana has over 1,500 power plants with a combined installed generation capacity of 929,000 MW. Most of these plants are fossil-fueled - dominated by coal, with hydroelectric being the largest renewable source. Eleven nuclear power plants account for only 3% of the country's generation capacity. Solar and wind contributions are in line with other industrialized countries.
Nuclear Power
Olvana is one of the world’s largest producers of nuclear power. They currently have 11 nuclear power plants that produce approximately 3 percent of the nation’s power. All of the nuclear plants have been built in the past 20 years and are presumed to be safe. The largest plant, the Qinshanzen Power Plant, produces 4,101 KW of energy. Two of the nuclear power plants produce under 1,500 KW and are not on the power plant data matrix below. Olvana. Olvana’s ability to produce nuclear energy may play a significant role in its economic expansion into markets across central Asia and Africa.
Renewable Power
Olvana’s energy sector is also moving toward more renewable power sources, specifically wind and solar. Olvana has 226 wind power plants that produce about 1% of the country’s energy and 23 solar power plants that produce less than 1% of the country’s power output. All of these wind and solar power plants produce below 1,500 KW of power.
Hydrocarbon Power
Olvana’s current infrastructure is heavily reliant on hydrocarbon power plants for energy. There are 649 coal plants producing 78% of the country’s power while 225 natural gas power plants produce another 8% of the country’s energy. The largest plant is the Etouwan coal plant that can produce 7,000 MW of power. The largest natural gas power plant is the Black Point Power Station that can produce 2,500 MW of power. Olvana continues to build coal power plants even though the country tells the world they are reducing their hydrocarbon emissions.
Hydroelectric Power
Hydroelectric power plants produce about 8% of Olvana’s energy needs, but they are damming more rivers and increasing the use of hydroelectric power throughout the country. The largest hydroelectric plant is the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River near the town of Sandouping. Three Gorges operates at an installed capacity of 22,500 MW through 32 main separate water turbines, each with a capacity of 700 MW, and two smaller 50 MW generators. Three Gorges is the world’s largest capacity hydroelectric power station in the world.

Home Heating
Olvana uses a variety of methods to heat their homes. In most cities, it is modern heat produced by electricity or natural gas. In rural areas, this is sometimes the case. Often, rural residents will rely on burning wood to heat their homes. Some of Olvana in in a tropical/sub-tropical environment and the homes do not require heat.
Water and Sanitation
Olvana faces a dichotomy when it comes to utilities present such as electricity, water, and sewage treatment. The majority of urban households can access modern utilities, but the rural areas have a more limited access to a number of them. Rural areas often have a communal water source and twin vault alternating pit latrines.
Water
Nearly all of the Olvanan population in urban areas (97.5%) has access to improved potable water. As areas become more rural, only 93% have access, and are reliant on local sources (rivers and streams) or community wells. Rural populations in particular can be heavily impacted by seasonal changes in rainfall leading to flooding and/or drought.
Urbanization has caused significant strain on water delivery systems; the government has initiated projects to improve the water quality and access. In many of the rural areas, the water is polluted from spills from either factories, raw sewage or illegal dumping. Rural Olvanans have nearly over 10% of their water supply that is not safe to use even for irrigation due to heavy metal contamination. Many local sources of water are heavily contaminated.
Sanitation
Olvanans that reside in urban areas have access to some sort of sewage system with 86.6% of residents having access to improved sanitation services and 13.4% having access to unimproved facilities (pit latrines). In rural areas, an estimated 63.7% of the population has access to improved sewage (septic / modern pipes); the remaining 36.3% have access to twin vault alternating pit latrines. Only a small portion of the wastewater is treated which has led to contamination of 61.5% of groundwater and 28.8% of key rivers being determined to be not suitable for human contact. Due to limited wastewater treatment facilities, most domestic wastewater is discharged without treatment. Five years ago the government dramatically increased the emphasis on reducing pollution to include water contamination. The government has several projects approved for modernizing the sewage system in both urban and rural areas.
Transportation Architecture
Roads are the primary transportation method throughout Olvana. The rail network of the country is very modern as it has been upgraded or installed in the past 15 years to support mass transit. The government has invested and subsidized mass transit over the past 12 years to help reduce pollution and congestion. The majority of roads are in good condition as they are paid for through a toll system and private companies.
Road System
Overall, roads in Olvana meet US or Western European standards. The exception will be in the rural and smaller villages that still have something little wider than a footpath to get through. Driving can be hazardous as the enforcement of traffic laws vary greatly across the nation. In general, drivers drive chaotic and unregulated; Olvana has one of the highest rate of accidents in the region. Of note, pedestrians do not have the right of way when crossing a road (even at a crosswalk). Due to large amounts of congestion on the roadways, the drivers tend to drive very aggressively.
Paved Roads
Olvana has a vast national road network of 4,602,150 km that includes 4,100,225 km of paved roads. The road network consists mainly of three types of national roads: Freeways, Olvana National Highways, and Express Routes. Freeways are toll roads that are unencumbered by stoplights / signs with separated cross traffic. Olvana National Highways are trunk roads across the country that may have portions that are toll roads. Express routes run through major urban areas. The government of Olvana does not maintain any of the road networks as that is left to for-profit businesses and the local cities, towns, and villages. Most urban roads have heavy traffic and are viewed as dangerous because of aggressive driving habits.
Unpaved Roads
There are 501,925 km of unimproved roads consisting of both gravel and dirt surfaces in Olvana. Most of these roads are found in the rural areas of the country. During the rainy seasons these roads can be washed out, become impassable for most vehicles. Even four-wheeled drive vehicles have difficulty making it through some of these areas.
Local Driving Habits
The cost for a driver’s license is relatively low in Olvana and foreigners can obtain one as long as they have a passport, a valid overseas driver’s license, and a translation of your overseas driver’s license. Traffic flow in Olvana is typically bidirectional, however dense urban areas may attempt to use one-way traffic streets (to differing degrees of success).
The majority of Olvana prescribes to Right Hand Traffic flow, with Hong Kong being the most significant exception. Traffic in Hong Kong prescribes to Left Hand Traffic, while most Olvanans who travel near Hong Kong are aware of the shift, and do so seamlessly, drivers from other regions and other countries often find the sudden transition difficult.
There are basically two rules for driving in Olvana—do not hit anything and do not get hit by anything. Still accidents happen. For “fender benders,” unspoken custom deems the larger vehicle to be at fault, and drivers usually just continue on their way as police response is slow. Accidents involving smaller vehicles, such as bicycles, scooters, or motorbikes, are typically dealt with in cash due to the fact that it is unlikely that the owner of the smaller vehicle has insurance. Accidents involving cars and larger vehicles are often also dealt with through cash transactions, and drivers will later file insurance claims to recoup any expenses. Police will initiate formal investigations for accidents that involve death or serious injury, however for most accidents the Police simply act as mediators between the drivers. It is a safe practice to assume the unexpected when driving in Olvana. The table below highlights some basic differences between driving in Olvanan cities and high traffic areas compared to other countries:
Right-of-way | There is no concept other than whoever is first has the right-of-way. This leads to aggressive driving.
|
Merging | Drivers in vehicles coming onto a more active road (side-street, parking lot, or highway on ramp) will look for any opening to get into the traffic and aggressively force their way into the traffic flow.
|
Lane Changes | In multi-lane roads in cities or even more open roads, expect taxis and other vehicles to squeeze in whenever there is a space if it appears the other lane is moving faster. If someone enters your lane and you hit the side of the vehicle, the police will assume the rear vehicle failed to yield even though the other driver cut you off.
|
Left Turns | There are few left turn signals at lights with traffic lights so drivers wishing to turn left tend to be aggressive, taking advantage of even the smallest gaps in oncoming traffic. Upon the color change from red to green, expect a car turning left to attempt to beat the car going straight from the opposite direction.
|
Car-Pedestrian Interactions | Olvana has many different vehicles on the streets—pedestrians, bikes, motorcycles, motorcycle with sidecars, motor scooters, 3-wheel motored cabs, etc. It is assumed that the smaller vehicle has the right-of-way so if two of these entities collide, the larger one is assumed liable for the accident. If a pedestrian is standing on the sidewalk and looking to cross a road, traffic will typically continue on without stopping. If a pedestrian is crossing the street, however, the driver may slow to allow the “first” to complete their action or they may attempt to drive around them.
|
Running Red Lights | Olvana drivers often run red lights if there is no opposing traffic from the left or right. This has declined in recent years, particularly in urban areas, as a result of state utilization of surveillance cameras and face recognition technology. The practice still continues in poorer, under-developed areas of cities, and in rural towns.
|
Two-way Traffic Everywhere | Bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians ignore one-way signs. If a driver is on a one-way road, expect traffic on the shoulders coming from the opposite direction on not just one side, but often both sides of the road.
|
Headlights | Headlights are for night-time use only, but some Olvanans do not use them even then. A driver can be fined for driving with their lights on during the day or not having them on at night. Drivers often do not dim their lights at approaching cars causing the drivers to become blind to each other.
|
Public Transportation
Public transportation in Olvana consists of a vast network of transportation nodes. While the more developed coastal areas often have higher concentration of available transport options, smaller towns and villages have at least daily bus traffic through the area. The majority of urban areas will have multiple bus stations that have regularly scheduled departure to points around the city or cross-country routes. The bus companies are independently owned and operated. The buses run both in the major metropolitan areas and to the more rural areas. Due to the relatively low cost of other methods of public transportation (bullet trains / subway), buses are typically used for shorter distance travel within major urban areas and between rural towns and villages.
Buses operate throughout Olvana, providing the most widely used form of travel available to the civilian population within the urban areas. Very few Olvanans use them for long distance travel, as there are other more efficient and reliable ways to move around the nation. The buses used by the private companies do not come from any predominant company. Many of the buses have air conditioning and have been upgraded to be electric for operation in the city. Many of the major bus companies originate their lines from the major metropolitan areas and then run to the more rural areas. The Olvanan government has been subsidizing the bus system to help pay for upgrades to the mass transit system and in an effort to decrease pollution.
Disruptions to the bus system may cause strain on the mass transportation system and cause extended delays, potentially resulting in more congestion on roadways due to people finding alternative means for travel.
Rail System
The country has 110,000 km of rail in the country, with 75,000 km of rail currently electrified and 22,000 km being high speed rail. Olvana approved several projects to modernize the rail system over the past 15 years to improve commuter travel throughout the nation. The main project is a high-speed rail line to help decrease pollution and congestion throughout the country. Olvana rail consists of standard gauge (1.435 m) which is in use by the neighboring countries. The locomotives used in Olvana are diesel or electric. Of note, 28 of 33 provinces are connected by high speed rail. Olvana is building railroad connections to most neighboring countries to help improve the Olvanan economy.
Air Transportation System
Olvana maintains 245 paved airfields, 88 of which are strictly military bases. There are also numerous helipads/heliports located throughout the urban areas. Very little is known about the many unpaved/unmaintained facilities found throughout the country. Less than 33 percent of the airspace is allocated to civilian aircraft, reduced to 25 percent during military exercises. This compounds the delays and cancellations that are part of normal air travel in Olvana.

Maritime
Searports
As a large country with a large coastline, the ocean and maritime activities are important to the economic well-being of the country. As a major exporter of cheap products to the world, some of the busiest ports in the world can be found in Olvana. Olvana's maritime trading history dates back over two millenia.
Seaports
In 2018, the driving force behind the acceleration in global port volumes was the global economic powerhouse, Olvana. The intrinsic link between the health of the country’s economy and global containerized trade was once again evident in the top 100 ports rankings, which comprised no fewer than 22 Olvana entries. Olvana has 35 major seaports and more than 2000 minor ports located along the South China Sea, East China Sea, and the Yellow Sea. Olvana’s major ports are mostly sea ports (except for ports such as Shanghai, Nanjing and Nantong along the Changjiang River and Guangzhou in the Pearl river delta) opening up to the Yellow sea (Bo Hai), Taiwan straits, Pearl river and South Olvana Sea while the latter comprise ports that lie along the major and minor rivers of Olvana. Most of Olvana’s major cities have access to ports, either within their metropolitan area or nearby. Olvana’s coastal ports enable the transportation of coal, containers, imported iron ore, and grain; roll-on-roll-off operations between mainland and islands; and deep-water access to the sea. In port construction, Olvana has especially strengthened the container transport system, concentrating on the construction of a group of deep-water container wharves at Ningbo-Zhoushan, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen and Hong Kong, and thus laying the foundations for Olvana’s container hubs. There are 32 Olvana ports that average more than 1 million tons of cargo throughput annually. Olvana has a total of 9 ports that can accommodate a Military Sea Lift (MSC) Commands Large, Medium-Speed Roll-on/Roll-off (LMSR).
The Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan is one of the busiest in the world in terms of cargo tonnage. In 2018, The Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan reported that its annual cargo throughput hit over 1.25 Billion tons of cargo. The port is located in Ningbo and Zhoushan, on the coast of the East China Sea, in Zhejiang province south of Hangzhou Bay, across which it faces Jiaxing and Shanghai. The port comprises several ports which are Beilun (seaport), Zhenhai (estuary port), and old Ningbo harbor (inland river port). The Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan complex is a modern multi-purpose deep water port, consisting of inland, estuary, and coastal harbors. There are a total of 191 berths including 39 deep water berths with 10,000 and more tonnage. The larger ports include a 250,000 tonnage crude oil terminal and a 200,000+ tonnage ore loading berth. There is also a purpose-built terminal for 6th generation container vessels and a 50,000 tonnage berth dedicated for liquid chemical products.
The Port of Shanghai is a deep water port that serves Olvana's most populous city, and is considered to be the world's second busiest seaport. Located on the mouth of the Yangtze River in eastern Olvana, the Port of Shanghai faces the East China Sea to the east, and Hangzhou Bay to the south. The Shanghai port facilities include: 125 berths with a total quay length of about 20 kilometers; 293 thousand square meters of warehouses; over 4.7 million square meters of storage yards; and 5143 units of cargo-handling equipment. The Port of Shanghai is about 421 kilometers southeast of the Port of Lianyungang. The Port of Shanghai is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. In 2002, over 16.2 million people lived in the Port of Shanghai municipality.
The Port of Shanghai is Olvana's leading commercial and financial center, and it has been called the world's fastest-growing economy. The Port of Shanghai rivals Hong Kong as the economic heart of the Olvana mainland, but Shanghai has stronger ties to the mainland and to the central government. The Port of Shanghai also has a more solid base in the manufacturing and technology sectors. Experiencing a building boom, Shanghai's architectural style is unique and recognizable in its range of height, design, color, and unusual features.
There are more than 75,000 km of navigable rivers within Olvana. The two major navigable rivers are the Yangtze River and the Zhujiang (Pearl) River. The Yangtze River’s source is found on the Tibetan Plateau, with its course running generally easterly, and the mouth of the river discharges into the East China Sea near the city of Shanghai. The Zhujiang River flows through southern Olvana in an easterly direction, and discharges into the South China Sea near Hong Kong. Commercial shipping can travel several hundred kilometers up both rivers to reach cities located on either one.
Pipelines
Olvana has almost 200,000 km of pipelines throughout the country. This includes crude oil, refined petroleum products, and water. The hydrocarbon pipelines are vital to many industries throughout the country. Without the pipelines, the factories would need to shut down.
Petroleum
Olvana has 70,000 km of gas pipelines, 20,000 km of crude oil pipelines, and 23,000 km of refined petroleum products pipelines. The crude oil pipelines follow generally the same routes as the natural gas pipelines along the east coast, south to north. These pipelines are government owned and operated. Donovia and Olvana are involved in a joint venture to build a crude oil pipeline to deliver Donovia petroleum to Olvana as the growing economy continues to make greater demands for energy sources.
Natural Gas
The gas pipelines run along the east coast from the southernmost point to the northern border, they also run from the northeast border to Shanghai. Three of the pipelines cross in to adjacent countries. The gas pipelines are extremely vital to the infrastructure as they provide the natural gas to use for heat and power and move away from coal. Part of the joint Donovia-Olvana pipeline venture is an additional natural gas pipeline from Donovia to Olvana.
Water
There are over 700,000 km of major water pipelines scattered throughout Olvana. Many of these carry water from treatment plants on rivers to the more arid regions of the country. These numbers do not count the internal pipes within the cities that move water to the local houses.
Telecommunications Architecture
Olvana is served by an extensive system of automatic telephone exchanges, connected by modern networks of fiber-optic cable, coaxial cable, microwave radio relay, and a domestic satellite system. Olvana continues to develop its telecommunications infrastructure, and is partnering with foreign providers to expand its global reach. In recent years, an agreement was signed with a major telecommunications company to build the first next-generation optical cable system directly linking the West with Olvana. International telephone communications are provided by a number of submarine cables providing connectivity to Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America. In addition, international access to satellite earth stations provides additional international overseas access.
Trans-Arctic Subsea Cable
The trans-Arctic cable is planned to link Europe and Asia through a submarine communication cable on the seabed along the Northwest Passage. This is the first fiber optic cable of its kind in the Arctic. The cable distance is shorter than any other currently in existence between Europe and Asia and should reduce signal latency. The project is an ongoing joint venture with several other countries that began in 2022 and is expected to be completed in 2025.
Industry
The Olvana industrial complex is the number one producer of steel in the world and the largest consumer/producer of chemicals, accounting for one-third of the global demand. Manufacturing generates roughly 46.6 percent of the GDP. The government relaxing some of the restrictions on private investments and ownership has caused an increase in industries. Military operations must be aware of the manufacturing areas and ensure not to disrupt them.
Food and Agriculture
Over a third of Olvanans engage in agricultural work, which accounts for only 10 percent of the country’s GDP. The bulk of Olvanan farms are medium sized farms. The major agriculture productions in the country are wheat, sorghum, millet, barley, soybeans, rice, and radishes. The current agriculture production is sufficient to sustain the population and the country exports grains and meat to meet the demand of the populace. However, due to high demand exceeding domestic production, the nation imports rice.
Oil/Gas
Olvana is the world’s largest oil importer. It comes from a pipeline in the north and is brought by ships to the ports. Olvana has a very large oil infrastructure that produces approximately 10,155,000 barrels of crude a day. The country must import oil to meet the demand in the country, which is equivalent to 960,000 barrels a day of oil to remain functioning. There has been exploration done in the contested South China Sea to locate more oil but there has been limited success.
Olvana has been producing more natural gas than it has at any point in the past 40 years and it still does not meet the demand in the country. There are two main pipelines that import natural gas from neighboring countries. The shift to cleaner burning fuels is done in response to moving away from coal to decrease air pollution. Neighboring countries have the ability to shut off the pipelines in the event of hostilities.
Defense Infrastructure
The defense industry in Olvana is growing with the recent opening of the defense industry to commercial investors. This defense industry exports aircraft, tankers, air defense equipment, weapons, ammunition, and munitions to developing nations. The sales serve both commercial and strategic purposes. Olvana is currently developing a defense industrial complex to further research and development of military capabilities. The Olvana Defense Minister recently brokered a deal for an Olvanan arms company to build a production factory and maintenance facility for Olvanan weapons in Belesia.
Nuclear Facilities
Olvana has a nuclear power program and possesses nuclear weapons. They currently have 11 nuclear power plants that produce approximately 3 percent of the nation’s power. All of the nuclear plants have been built in the past 20 years and are presumed to be safe. The country has not signed any nuclear non-proliferation or destruction treaties. Olvana is believed to possess approximately 500 nuclear warheads. There is an extensive underground network of tunnels throughout the country where the warheads and missiles are stored to protect them from attack from aircraft, artillery, and missiles.
Space
Olvana actively continues pursuit of a space program that supports the country's strategic vision. It currently has 23 satellites for communications and navigation purposes in orbit. They have been advancing their rocket program as delivery vehicles for their satellites and other space platforms. The Olvana space program also continues a program to develop an orbital space station for research and development.
