Mission control

The real brains behind any operation the IAASA performs. Mission control relays the important information and flight paths. Each and every mission is put together in 1-2 days and the Ares shuttle is then scrambled in for a intercept course. No less then 10 linked supercomputers are used to plot the mission paths and actions. Missions range in duration from 1-3 weeks. There are 5 Ares launch sites on Earth, 10 years after the invaders appear another 5 were added to mars. 2 launch sites are on the moon and 3 are on space station Hood in orbit around mars (the furthest Man has built a space station).
