The Foundation

The Shabzotdom Imperial Space Administration was founded as the Imperial Space Research Organization by imperial decree on the 17th of August, 1978. It's original concept was to use telescopes to observe the cosmos. What started as one facility high in the mountains of the Krenshaw Mountain Range in the north-central sections of the original Imperial Mainland, it expanded to 8 different telescope arrays, both standard convex glass and radio telescopes, spread throughout the Empire in the matter of 36 months. The first director was appointed by the Original Emperor, Shaz Bot, on the 29th of August, 1978. It was under his direction that the program began its initial expansion.

The 1980s

The 1980s saw a change in the name to the Shazbotdom Imperial Space Agency and saw the development of the first orbital launch vehicle, the 4534-class Rocket system. This system was a single use rocket system that was utilized for the first launches of satellite communications systems for military use. Previous to this, the Empire contracted out with an ally for the use of their launch systems to put Imperial Assets into space.

The most notable mission for the 4534-class Rocket System was the launch of Imperial Lab 1 in 1984, which was the first orbital laboratory for the Shazbotdom Empire. It's mission was supposed to last for 8 years, but after 4 years the orbit began to degrade and the facility was abandoned and left to deorbit. The majority of the lab burned up upon re-entry, but what little was left splashed down into the ocean 7 months later. This would be considered one of the SISA's greatest failures and caused the Imperial parliament to threaten to cut the funding for the Agency and/or dissolve the agency altogether.

It wasn't until 1987 when Imperial Lab 2 was launched with a new thrust vector system to stabilize it's orbit that the Parliament decided to continue to fund operations. More than 13 missions were launched in the final 3 years of the 1980s to resupply and bring new astronauts to the station to maintain it's operations.

The 1990s

With the multiple advances in technology in the laste 1980s into the early 1990s, it was decided that in 1992 Imperial Lab 2 would be deorbited the next year for it's end of life. At this time in the history of the agency, there were not options for modular systems for space stations to swap out old pods and bring up new pods with newer technology to better equip the astronauts for their missions.

After IL2 was deorbited in 1993, the Empire switched to space shuttle style system for short term research in orbit, with each mission lasting 6 months at a time. After each mission, the shuttle would deorbit, land at a commercial airport, and then be transported back to the space center for refurbishment, refueling and then to prepare it for it's next mission. On the 4th of November, 1998, the Supreme Emperor ordered the renaming of the Agency to the name it is now, the Shazbotdom Imperial Space Administration.

The 2000s

These shuttle missions for space based research lasted until 2004 when the unthinkable happened. During a launch on the 25th of January, the boosters and fuel tank separated from the shuttle roughly 6km up from the pad. With the shuttle losing it's primary fuel source for the launch, the mission commander attempted to take control and guide the shuttle down to a nearby airport for an emergency landing.

This did not go as planned as the shuttle came in too fast for a landing, skid right off fo the runway on the far end, broke through the fence at the far end of the property and slammed right through rush hour traffic on one of the main highway systems within the Empire, finally coming to a stop after crashing through 2 dozen houses on the other side of the road. Overall, the entire flight crew of 5 as well as more than 200 people on the ground were dead, with another 400 injured.

The shuttle system was scrapped after this incident and the Imperial Government suspended all operations of SISA for an indefinite amount of time until a proper investigation was completed. It wasn't until three years later, in 2007, when the report came out and showed that a faulty part purchased from a foreign corporation caused the booster/tank ejection system to prematurely fire. From that point on, SISA was ordered to only purchase parts and equipment from Shazbotdom owned businesses.

The 2010s

It wouldn't be until 2011 when SISA woul be back in orbit, although at this time they are only regulated to launching satellites into orbit for businesses based within the Empire. This limited them to launch for telecom businesses and military purposes to expand the technological foothold of the Empire in the world.

At Current

In the late 2010s the Imperial Parliament initiated the Space Modernization Program. With this new edict from the Parliament, the Shazbotdom Imperial Space Administration began researching new rocket engines that would give more thrust with less energy expended and computer systems that would be built into the rockets to make the system reusable. In 2019, the first reusable rocket system was started, although it only had the first stage as reusable and it was a one core system that was designed to launch satellites into orbit. In 2019, the first prototypes for the Delta-class and Gamma-class boosters were first introduced to the then current director of SISA, Dr. Gilbert Godwin.

With more testing, the first prototypes were made launch ready in 2020, but with the global pandemic putting a major strain on worldwide supply shortages for rocket fuel, the program was shelved and the first few prototypes were put in storage as the rocket engines continued to undergo tweaking to ensure they had less parts to make them simpler to repair if needed. In October of 2021, the supply shortage was waning and the Empire began extensive static fire testing of the engines at it's test facility in preparation for transportation and install.

These tests continued until the 15th of June, 2022, when the first suborbital test flight of 1st Stage Booster Delta-1 cemented the Empires start of using it's fully reusable launch capabilities.

Shazonian Aerodynamics

Main supplier and builder of the Rocket Engines utilized in all Imperial Space Administration rockets, including the new Delta and Gamma lines of rockets. ShazAero used to build aircraft for varous small-time airlines within the Empire until those welt belly-up with the formation of ShazAir and it's subsidiary. They hold the main contract for buiding Rocket Engines, but also hold the contract for ShazAir for maintenance of their aircraft, making them the 6th Largest Employer within the Empire.

Grants Metal Supply

Originally selected to supply the metals and alloys for the Shuttle program, the contract was renewed in the late 2010s for the first reusible rockets. SISA is their sole contract for their business and they offer top quality metals that have not failed.

[Seorabeol Federation]

Wan Gyeong National University

Greetings.

Our university is working on a project to launch cube satellites made by students into Earth's orbit.

Our nation's space launch agency, SASA, is only implementing national projects, so we'd like to entrust the launch of our satellites to the Shazbotdom Imperial Space Admin.

Corporation Name: Wan Gyeong National University
Nation of Origin: Seorabeol Federation
Project Name: ‘The wings of the students’ - Students-made Cube Satellite Launch Project
Number of Launches Needed: 3 Launches
Allowable Timeframe from First to Last Launch: 6 Month

[Shazbotdom]

TO: Wan Gyeong National University, Seorabeol Federation

The Shazbotdom Imperial Space Administration thanks you for your interest in launching your Sattelites with us. As of right now, we have a gap in our regular launches to do a mission between August 6th and August 12th. We can schedule our first launch for that timeframe. Our support personnel will reach out to you to get a little more information before we look to schedule a timeframe for the launch. It will be at that time in which we will fully schedule the launch date. After that, pending on the weather patterns, we will work out the Primary Launch Window and the Backup Launch Window.

OOC: Check Discord for the question I sent.

[Shazbotdom]

TO: Wan Gyeong National University, Seorabeol Federation

After looking over the information relayed to us, we are scheduling your Primary Launch Window for the 7th of August, 2022 between the hours of 11:00 and 19:00 while the Secondary Launch Window is on the 8th of August, 2022 between the hours of 06:00 and 15:00. The secondary window will only be for if something happens on the day of the Primary Window that would cause us to scrub the mission. We are yet to determine which boosters will be used in the mission. We will hopefully be determining which boosters will be utilized in the next 24-48 hours. The launch video will be available in a minimum of 10 minutes after the mission is completed but may take up to 12 hours for it to be completed and uploaded.

We thank you for the opportunity to assist your organization in putting your payload into orbit.

[Shazbotdom]

TO: Wan Gyeong National University, Seorabeol Federation

The following will be the schedule for the remaining two launches according ot the Contract that was signed between the Shazbotdom Imperial Space Administration and your University. THis schedule is now set is stone on the launch dockett.

Launch 2: Primary Launch Window is the 28th of August between 08:00 and 16:00. Secondary Launch Window is the 29th of August between 13:00 and 19:00.
Launch 3: Primary Launch Window is the 10th of September between 11:00 and 18:00. Secondary Launch Window is the 11th of September between 06:00 and 14:00. This launch has been reworked to use 1st Stage Booster Delta-10 and 2nd Stage Booster Gamma-10.

The Administration is very intruiqued by your request for the number of launches. Will these be some sort of Research Sattelite system that are to be used for deep space research? Also, would these be on the inside or outside of the Asteriod Belt? We need to know this information so we can figure out what we will do in regards to launch equipment, if we decide to stack two Stage 2 Boosters, or get our cres started in designing a 3rd Stage system that will be disgarded after the placement of each Sattelite in your Constillation.
We are, though, accepting your application on a provisional basis and will direct our crews to work on the logistics for each lunch until we recieve the answers to these questions. We thank you for trusting us with your Space Launches.

To avoid perturbations from Jupiter, we are recommending an orbit within the asteroid belt.

The satellite network we envision is best described as cloud storage for humanity's most important information resources, safeguarded beyond the reach of any terrestrial perturbation. The satellites also comprise a computational network among themselves for the operation of a long-running simulation that, in a worst-case scenario, would survive the extinction of life on Earth. The large number of satellites ensures redundancy and network interconnectivity in the event of failure of any nodes.

I'm working out how to try and make it happen. I will probably do just one launch video and reuse that launch video over and over, but then do a separate video for each of the satellite orbit insertions.

Also, just a note that the game I use doesn't actually have the asteroid belt in it, so I'll probably going to make the orbit just inside the perimeter of the asteroid belt.

You could probably do one or a few representative videos. Sorry to make you do all that work - I was somewhat inattentive when I first encountered this thread. I would have been more respectful of your time if I realized you were putting so much effort into this.

I mean, I still got to do like the test flight videos, which I'm going to be working on shortly. I normally do that when I make a new bracket, kind of like how SpaceX does.

And I can make each video for each launch because that doesn't take that long.

I might do like five lunch videos and then recycle between those five for the various satellites then having individual video for getting each one up into the proper orbit. It shouldn't take me too long, I just need to do it when I'm able to when I'm not at work.

TO: PATHOS Foundation, The Hubristic Scientocracy of Ximea

As of the current date, the Shazbotdom Imperial Space Administration wishes to notify the PATHOS Foundation from The Hubristic Scientocracy of Ximea that we have completed 20 of the planned Launches. Each Sattelite is either on a trajectory out of Earth's Orbit, or is currently out of Earth's Orbit, and is on its way toward its Heliocentric Orbit between Mars and Jupiter. We will be taking a break from launching your Sattelites while we get some more segments of our Space Station placed and a few other needed launches. We plan on starting the next set of 20 Launches sometime in the month of January of the year 2023. Once again, we thank you for trusting the Imperial Space Administration with this exceptionally large project for your organization.

[Shazbotdom]

TO: The International Community

For the season, after the current slate of Launches are completed, the Shazbotdom Space Administration will be taking a short break in launches. After LSSB-07 Launches with either it's Primary (12/29) or Secondary Launch Window (12/30), our next launch will not occur until the Primary (1/10) or Secondary (1/11) Launch Windows for PFF-21 This is to ensure that equipment is given a thorough inspection and to give the Launch Teams and other non-essential employees some time off.
