Editing Weltraumgruppen (section)

== Mission and organization ==

The branch was initially responsible for rocket development and launch operations. After 1979, its mandate extended to off-world construction. Orbital transport and planetary occupation became permanent responsibilities as settlements expanded. The Oberkommando approved destinations and occupation campaigns, after which the [[Weltraumgruppenhauptamt]] in Georgetown converted those directives into launch schedules and construction programs. The [[Amtsgruppe Raketenwesen]] developed launch vehicles and propulsion systems before transferring launched spacecraft to the [[Orbitalführung]]. Planetary governors reported through the [[Planetarische Verwaltung]], while the [[Himmelswerftdirektion]] managed orbital ship construction. The [[Exobiologische Hauptstelle]] controlled biological quarantine and the specimen registry. The [[Allgemeine SS]] screened personnel and guarded restricted installations, while technical command remained with the Weltraumgruppenhauptamt.<ref name="departments"/><ref name="allgemeine"/>
