Operation "Chlorophyll"
After the success of the Jool colonies and the valor of the Titan Cronus mission, N.S.P. was funded to set up a colony on Tekto by the Kerbelian Government for research.

Operation Chlorophyll 1: Titan Cronus
The begining of the Chylorophyll missions began with the Titan Cronus probe which was sent to the Saranus System on an Astra Sailor. The Titan Cronus was equiped with scientific equipment, and Cameras which allowed it to take stunning views. During its mission, it dropped a probe off at Tekto to explore the surface, and it remained in a Polar Orbit of Tekto to continue scanning the moon. This mission laid the foundation for the future missions to Tekto. The full mission can be seen here.
Operation Chlorophyll 2: Viva La Astra Sailor
Now that Tekto was chosen to be a place for possible habitation, Astra Sailor launched a fully constructed base in it's payload bay all the way to Tekto. This was the first time Astra Sailor carried a fully constructed base of 500 tons interplanetary, and it did it's mission well. The base was dropped off at the point of interest, and the data gained from this mission proved to be astounding.
Operation Chlorophyll 3: Base Construction
After the base was planted on the surface of Tekto, the drill that came with it allowed for manufacturing to happen, which then resulted in the construction of a fully operational space center near the colony site. This space center would lead the exploration of Tekto, and further targets in the solar system.
Operation Chlorophyll 4: Submerged
Because the details regarding Tekto's oceans were unclear, N.S.P. Partnered up with Leviathan Flightworks to produce a scientific cargo that could be dropped out of a SCH-147 and fall down into the depts of the ocean. After this was produced, N.S.P. flew it over to the ocean, dropped it, and it went deep into the ocean. Scientific Data recorded that the ocean was made mainly of Nitrogen and Methane, which form together to make Ethane, a crude oil. Furthermore, the ocean is covered in a think ice cap, and was broken with a drill provided by the Syracuse Oil Company. But most interestingly, a camera that was pushed through the mud found dead remains of plant fossils from missions of years ago, and also the presence of Methanogen Bacteria. This means Tekto had and has life!
