Station McAuliffe with its daylight collector mirror deployed
Artemis Foundation Main Belt Research Station McAuliffe is located 120° behind asteroid 2709 Sagan. Along with Station Chawla, its primary purpose is to provide coverage of one-third of the "sky" of the Solar System in support of astronomical and astrophysical research performed by the Handwavium Propulsion Laboratory.

As is standard in all Stellvia Corporation and Artemis Foundation installations, McAuliffe has its own Interwave node. It is an oversized and doubly-redundant node, with dedicated links to both Chawla and 2709 Sagan.

Shuttle Challenger is based out of Station McAuliffe.
