Hidden Agendas
Score the Summer Triangle.
If successful, reveal while leaving step 2 on the track towards the Moon. Skip step 3, ignore its value and continue to step 4. Don't reveal tile 3 for this action. The same goes for the way back to Earth.
Visit all continents, except Antarctica.
If successful, reveal while launching and directly go to step 2 on the track towards the Moon.
Observe Jupiter and Mars.
If successful, reveal while launching. Each time both Jupiter and Mars are visible on the Orrery or on top of the Planet Deck, difficulty values are subtracted by 15 to a minimum of 0.
Score Milky Way before the 12th month.
If successful, reveal at the start of the 12th month. Each time a Milky Way constellation shows up in one of the observation weeks, move 1 additional step in space, while facing all difficulties along the way.
Observe a solar and a lunar eclipse.
If successful, reveal while launching. Each time a Luna Phase shows up in one of the observation weeks, the current difficulty value is 0.
Observe first quarter Moon while Venus and Jupiter are visible on the Orrery for observation.
If successful, reveal while launching. Each time both Jupiter and Venus are visible on the Orrery or on top of the Planet Deck, difficulty values are subtracted by 10 to a minimum of 0.
Score Precession.
If successful, reveal while launching. For Yuri alone, the maximum spacecraft housing in space on steps 2 and 4 is decreased by 1.
Observe Scorpius and Orion.
If successful, reveal while launching. Whenever a player jumps your current step in space, move one step while facing all difficulties along the way.
Observe Uranus and Neptune.
If successful, reveal while launching. Each time both Uranus and Neptune are visible on the Orrery or on top of the Planet Deck, difficulty values are subtracted by 10 to a minimum of 0.
Score North and South.
If successful, reveal while launching. After moving to the next step, draw a new tile of the same step type and subtract its value from the current difficulty value to a minimum of 0.
Observe Leo and Orion while on location Latitude Region +1 and Longitude Region +30/+60.
If successful, reveal after last required observation on the spot. When the current difficulty value is 0 or 5, move 1 additional step in space, while facing all difficulties along the way.
Observe 2/3: Mercury, Solar Eclipse, Taurus.
If successful, reveal while launching. Each time both Mercury is visible on the Orrery or on top of the Planet Deck, move 1 additional step in space, while facing all difficulties along the way.
Observe all the Moon Phases.
If successful, reveal while launching. After each movement, you may draw a new tile once and change it with the current tile. Apply the new difficulty value for that step from then on. If any other vehicles are present on the previous tile, place them back on the new tile.
Observe 2/3: Cygnus, Lyra, Aquila.
If successful, reveal while launching. You can spend Each Lunar Phase twice during the game.
Observe Jupiter and Saturn.
If successful, reveal while launching. Each time both Jupiter and Saturn are visible on the Orrery or on top of the Planet Deck, difficulty values are subtracted by 10 to a minimum of 0.
Don't use any other vehicle than the boat before launch.
If successful, reveal while launching. Gain 30 Navigation Knowledge.
Observe 2/3: Scorpius, Centaurus, Crux.
If successful, reveal while launching. Each time a Milky Way constellation shows up in one of the observation weeks, the current difficulty value is 0.
Observe Venus while on location Latitude Region -1 and Longitude Region +120/+150. If successful, reveal after required observation on the spot. Each time Venus is visible on the Orrery or on top of the Planet Deck, difficulty values are subtracted by 5 to a minimum of 0.
Score Southern Sky.
If successful, reveal while launching. After moving to the next stage, Sphen may guess the value of a newly drawn tile of the same step type. If Sphen guessed correctly, he moves to the next stage. If a different value was drawn, Sphen aborts the mission for free. No abort token is lost unless the difficulty value would exceed Sphen's navigation knowledge. Repeat the process at your own risk.
Score Orientation.
If successful, reveal before launching. Name a value. Each time Sphen draws a tile with that value, Sphen's current stage is considered to have a difficulty value of 0.
Observe Mercury and Saturn. If successful, reveal while launching. Each time both Mercury and Saturn are visible on the Orrery or on top of the Planet Deck, difficulty values are subtracted by 10 to a minimum of 0.

Note:
Some background artwork, specially those for Hidden Agendas and Quests, are olified pictures, pictures from Wikipedia (flags) or transformed material that will not be used as final outcome. They are merely test cards as a reference until our illustrator has had the opportunity to draw the final substitute. All the character art and their instrument art are final and part of Diego's AstroNavigators work. A list of source references to originals will be mentioned next. Some temporary work is of my own fabrication and might be changed nevertheless.
