H₁stersteng Mk 3 - The current preferred rocket for Wolnaut and payload delivery into orbit around Gotha.

The Wolgos space program traces its origins back to the year 7669 when it emerged as an integral part of the Wolgos government's broader efforts in nuclear weapons development. Initially, the primary objective of the rocketry program was to design and develop launch vehicles tailored for the delivery of nuclear warheads. Rockets were instrumental in this context, representing a critical component of the nation's strategic offensive capabilities. As negotiations with the International Consortium of Nations (ICoN) progressed, global long-range delivery methods for nuclear warheads were established, rendering the program's initial purpose somewhat obsolete.

In light of these geopolitical developments and the evolving landscape of international diplomacy, the Wolgos rocketry program underwent a significant transformation. Scientific and prestigious aspirations began to take centre stage, redirecting the program's focus from military applications to peaceful exploration and discovery. By the year 7675, the Wolgos Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) program had already started winding down, and expectations of its eventual shelving grew as ICoN sanctions were gradually relaxed.

The turning point arrived in 7685 when the program underwent a complete overhaul and repurposing. It transitioned from being under military jurisdiction to becoming the responsibility of a newly established agency. This transformation allowed the program to diversify its personnel, welcoming not only engineers and technicians but also doctors, scientists, and astronomers into its ranks. This expanded and interdisciplinary team marked the beginning of a new era for the Wolgos space program, one that was characterized by a commitment to scientific exploration, international cooperation, and the advancement of knowledge beyond the boundaries of Gotha's atmosphere.
