Trivia

 * It has been confirmed to take place at a Soviet launch facility.
 * The name of this map's song may be called "Abracadavre", because on PC the Game Over music filename is "mus_gameover_abracadavre".
 * The map's name could be a reference to a number of things:
 * The Ascension group of Nazi scientists featured in Executive Order.
 * The writing on the wall in Nacht der Untoten, "You must Ascend From Darkness." 
 * The words Ascend from Darkness are sometimes visible whilst traveling through a Teleporter
 * When the film reel shows Mason in the crowd on the day of John F. Kennedy's assassination at the end of the campaign, Mason says "Ascension".
 * In the newest update, when the player escapes the chair in Revelations, and looks at their mission objectives they will find that they have been changed from a string of numbers into "Ascension."
 * The newest update on GKNOVA6 displays a Vitruvian Man-looking drawing with a monkey-like being, hinting a new zombie type, or possibly the Cosmic Silverback.
 * This map is speculated to take place in the Baikonour Cosmodrome, based of the campaign mission 'Executive Order'.
