INTERNATIONAL SPACE FEDERATION

<If you would like to submit a design for our logo, send a telegram to the Ascendancy of Cártána, the hoster of this page, with a link to the image.>

WELCOME TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE FEDERATION!

WHO WE ARE

The International Space Federation is a group of nations dedicated to advancing humanity through the peaceful exploration of space. Comprised of different nations and organizations, from those who have set man down on the Moon and other planets to those who haven't yet managed to launch their first rockets. The nations of the International Space Federation have collectively dedicated themselves to the pursuit of spaceflight, the advancement of humanity in the vast reaches of the cosmos, and the furthering of our knowledge of the Final Frontier.

WHAT WE DO

The International Space Federation, through its member nations and space agencies, owns and operates numerous facilities, spacecraft, and space stations or bases which are open for use. While nations are welcome, and encouraged, to supply their own facilities, spacecraft, and materials, the ISF allows cooperation between her member states and organizations so that every member has an equally important part to play in the growth and goals of the ISF.

The ISF is open to nations and space agencies of any size and wealth, regardless of whether the space agency is a fully-established enterprise or a new but aspiring space program, or even a nation without a space agency looking to grow one. The ISF will use its financial resources to seed the development of space facilities and agencies in nations without them, boost space agencies who need just a little more help for a mission, or to support a major mission as a collective effort.

The ISF seeks the breaking of political and commercial barriers between her member states and organizations in the field and interest of human enlightenment through the pursuit of spaceflight.

OUR MEMBERSHIP LEVELS

Senior Member: Senior members are those Full Members which have contributed extensively to ISF operations, either through donations, use of facilities, mission participation, or service as organization directors. They have no special privileges relative to full members of the ISF.

Full Member: Full Members are those public and private space agencies which have their submitted application to join the ISF accepted. Full Members have an operational space program, facilities, launch sites, and all the required infrastructure to operate independently from the ISF. They hold all privileges and rights associated with membership of the ISF, but will be expected to contribute to ISF operations through use of facilities, personnel, and/or money.

Special Member: Special Members are public space agencies which may or may not have a fully operational space program, but lack the necessary infrastructure or funds to be able to operate launches by themselves, and is granted by with the acceptance of a submitted application. Members in this category are able to take part in ISF operations, and will be expected to contribute monetarily to ISF operations. The ISF will use portions of its monetary contributions to develop launch infrastructure within the borders of Special Member nations, which the ISF will supervise until the Special Member's space program is stable and operational, at which point they become Full Members automatically, with no need to submit a second application. (Private space agencies are expected to establish themselves before applying for membership in the ISF, and are thus ineligible to become Special Members.)

Partial Member: Partial Members are those space agencies (public or private) which are interested, but not fully committed, to ISF membership, and thus are not allowed all the privileges and rights associated with Full or Special Membership. It is granted with the acceptance of a submitted application. Agencies may use this level of membership to 'try' membership in the ISF, or use it as a demonstration of support without complete commitment.

Supporter: A non-member state, organization, or corporation that wishes to provide money or products to the ISF, but is either not a space agency or does not wish to meet the requirements for membership.

HOW TO JOIN

When considering joining as a member, be prepared to abide by all of these rules:

Out-of-Character Rules

1. All forum rules apply.
2. Nations that reach Ex-Nation status will have their memberships revoked. Checks for this will be carried out every
   Tuesday and Friday at 21:00 US Pacific time.
3. Let's keep things reasonable. Though ISF canon extends from 1940 to 2050, and though deviations from "realism"
   are unavoidable, no ridiculous donations or anything that would violate suspension of disbelief.
4. I am operating as Opening Poster - my co-OPs will be Congreveopia and Guadalupador.
5. Don't rush my co-OPs or I into reading your application or a proposal for a project. If we haven't gotten to it in 3-5
   days, calmly make another post about it or send one of us a telegram.

In-Character Rules

1. The Council of Directors does not have to sign off on everything you're doing. As long as it is within the ISF's
   rules, research, launch, and create whatever you desire!
2. The ISF is not to be involved in any conflict. We are allowed to develop weapons, or focus on military purposes
   (for example, spy satellites or ICBM development), but that is the limit of the ISF's military involvement.
3. Full and Special Members are expected to provide at least 0.25% of their space agency budget or ten million
   NationStates Dollar (NSD), whichever is more, to the ISF budget annually.
4. Partial members are encouraged, but not expected, to contribute to ISF operations.
5. Proposals for ISF missions may be presented to the ISF Director of Projects and Planning or the General President,
   who will decide if the project will be presented to the full Council of Directors.
