Good day Deep Space Engineering technical staff,

This is Jeremy Birch from All Worlds Enterprises & Securities in the Scientific Programs section, based out of our HQ at Salt Lake Station in New York.

We've put a lot of work lately into improvements across the board at Salt Lake Station that have seen upgrades to our production equipment lines, optimization of our environmental and health systems, and general structure of the base itself into its present form.

However, we continue to look for ways to improve efficiencies, which leads me to my communication to your expert engineering teams today.

We seek to lessen the burden of our transport fleet that work towards the daily requirements of the general crew onboard - namely those space station specific necessities more easily found on life bearing planets - food, oxygen, and water. Currently this accounts for a high percentage of our local fleet flight times - times we know could be more profitably spent elsewhere.

While most stations seek to reduce this cost of time and credits by renewables on board (biodome projects, recycling projects etc), we have reviewed some data provided to us and don't believe that is necessarily the investment we wish to make for a station so deeply within House Space.

Our solution is actually a lot more basic, but still has its technological hurdles:

We seek to use smaller transports as unmanned shuttles between the short route of the trade lane between Baltimore Shipyard and Planet Manhattan.
These shuttles would then dock at Newark Station, where they would be loaded with the food, water, and oxygen supplies that we require daily at Salt Lake Station.
It is our hope that the smaller size of the transport and the relative close proximity of the route to our Interspace Commerce stations will allow remote control with some internal automation onboard to be used, in effect allowing limited crew to enact.

Our teams working on this idea wanted to send some preliminary data, to show some merit behind the theory itself.

Your engineers will find the following data attached:

sensor readings from both Salt Lake Station and Newark Station regarding the strength of signals emanating from both.
sensor readings from our own drone survey of the trade lane route to and from the station
visual data from the route via the drone telemetry

Signal Strength Data

We look forward to hearing your perspective on the feasibility of our project and any concerns. We decided to approach DSE first given knowledge that automation was used in past mining projects such as the platinum operations on Planet Huron from Toronto Station in the Ontario system.

No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess,
