PILP Launch Partnership - A Modern Space Launch Service from Anagonia
Introduction to the Private Industry Launch Partnership (PILP)
The Private Industry Launch Partnership - or PILP for short - was established in 103 AUR under President Franklin Johnson as a means to subsidize the Confederate Aeronautics and Space Administration. Regional private partnerships enabled a steady income flow in the beginning of PILP, however the main portion of profits did not constitute what the present Presidential administration deemed to be sufficient subsidized income. Chief Administrator Marissa Schultz was directed to seek out further alternatives to enable CASA to acquire further long-term partnerships. Reaching out to Tom Falkor of ANEP after its initial founding, Marissa began to build the beginnings of a fruitful partnership under the PILP umbrella. After setting and reaching a set of primary goals to initialize the partnership, PILP was formally handed over under the direction of Administrator Nestor Hoffman to enable further growth and outreach on the world stage.
PILP makes use of what CASA has termed its "Reserve Shuttle Fleet" of two Buran-class and two Orbiter-class Space Shuttles. These shuttles have served dutifully under CASA, however the majority of their time is now spent on the ground as the newer generation of Anagonian-made Independence-class Space Shuttles is fully utilized. PILP makes use of several warehouses in various launch complexes to store and maintain its shuttle fleet, working closely with CASA to utilize the full extent of the Administrations space facilities to ensure a safe and reliable launch schedule for customers.
