CASA was founded in 1951 CE to fulfill the Confederate States Air Force's ambitions of launching suborbital and orbital assets. Initially, the agency's focus was predominantly military, facilitating the launch of reconnaissance and early communication satellites. President William Youngston (1951 - 1956 CE) and his successor, President Travis Johnathan (1956 - 1961 CE), maintained this military orientation, with CASA being entirely government-funded.

Transition to Civilian Orientation (1961 - 1980s)

The turning point for CASA came with the election of President Laurel Alexander (1961 - 1966 CE). President Alexander envisioned the space agency pushing the limits of technology, which was very primitive at the time, akin to the early Apollo era. In 1962 CE, he refocused CASA to introduce a joint civilian-military mission directive. Under his leadership, CASA began to rebuild and restructure its orbital launch rockets, which were similar to the Redstone or Titan II rockets of that era, to support manned missions into orbit.

International Collaboration and Early Achievements (1963 - 1967)

In 1963 CE, CASA achieved a significant milestone when Astronaut Colonel Hughes Jackton became the first Anagonian in space. Colonel Jackton, a member of the Confederate States Air Force (CSAF), had been a long-time participant in the CASA space program. His successful mission captured global attention and led to international collaboration. In the same year, the USSR of Nodea Rudav and the Imperial Drekamythian Empire expressed interest in participating in CASA's missions. This bolstered CASA's ranks with not only Anagonian Astronauts but also Cosmonauts from Nodea Rudav and Drekanuats from Drekamythia.

In 1965 CE, CASA launched its first three-person mission in orbit using a Modified Titan II rocket with a modified Gemini crew capsule. The crew consisted of Anagonian Astronaut Colonel Hughes Jackton as Commander, Rudavian Major Cosmonaut Larionov Leonidovich as Communications Officer, and Drekamythian Drekanaut Captain Arruns Latinius as Spacecraft Specialist. This mission marked a significant victory for Anagonia and showcased successful international cooperation and teamwork.

The Big Gemini Program and Continental Space Station (1965 - 1967)

A Titan III Rocket launching a Big Gemini with a Mobile Orbiting Laboratory

Between 1965 and 1966 CE, CASA, alongside its international partners in Nodea Rudav and Drekamythia, developed and constructed the Big Gemini concept craft to safely carry personnel into and from space. To launch the Big G, as it was known, CASA developed the Titan III family of rockets. Plans for a space station were also developed and implemented. Using Titan III launches, CASA put into orbit components constructed from empty Titan II upper stages, culminating in the completion of the Continental Space Station. This primitive, three-chambered space station was designed for early understanding of space habitation and operations.

Three Big Gemini launches between 1966 and 1967 supported the space station. However, by late 1967, the Continental Space Station had drifted too far from a safe orbit and was allowed to burn up in the Esvanovian atmosphere, crashing safely into the Anagonian Ocean.

Lunar Missions and the Apollo Program (1966 - 1968)

During the Big Gemini collaboration, CASA pursued its objective set by President Laurel Alexander to land an Anagonian on the Moon. As the Gemini program gained popularity, CASA, in collaboration with the CSAF, developed the Saturn I rocket in 1966 CE. The Saturn I rocket was extensively tested and used to launch the first series of Apollo command modules, paving the way for future manned orbital flights.

By 1967, CASA, under the direction of President Forest Holloway (1966 - 1979 CE), and its international partners had developed the Saturn V concept rocket. The Apollo Command/Service Module (CSM) quickly evolved from a Block I concept into Block II and Block III productions. Block II was intended for orbital missions, while Block III, designed for long-duration missions, was complemented by an Orbital Mission Module (OMM), which provided additional living and working space, replacing the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM).

In early 1968, the Apollo 4 mission launched using the Block III concept and an OMM module instead of an LEM. The crew included Anagonian Astronaut Colonel Hughes Jackton as Commander, Rudavian Cosmonaut Captain Bershova Vladislavovna as Spacecraft Specialist (the second female in space and the first female to reach lunar orbit), and Drekamythian Drekanaut Lieutenant Titus Fuscus as Communications Officer. After three days, three hours, and 49 minutes, the crew successfully arrived at lunar orbit, spent three days conducting research and cultural activities, and then safely returned home.

After 75 hours and 49 minutes, Apollo 5 achieved lunar orbit and detached its LEM module. Captain Faleria Geminiana stayed behind in the CSM while Cosmonaut Turbina Stanislavovna and Major Logan Murray descended to the lunar surface. Despite a main engine failure mid-burn, Major Murray's quick thinking to switch to backup pumps saved the LEM from a crash. They successfully landed in Mare Cognitum, spent two days on the lunar surface, and then safely reunited with the CSM and returned home.

Apollo 5 left behind a number of scientific instruments as well as a golden memorial plaque with the following inscription:
"On this Lunar Soil does Apollo 5, a joint mission between three international neighbors, brothers, and nations, land on the surface of this Moon in 1968 Common Era. We land in peace in hopes that these first steps shall cement within us a permanent unity that shall be forever unshaken, a peace forever unbroken, and a drive for betterment forever kept and never lost."

The collaborative efforts and groundbreaking missions of the Big Gemini program and the Apollo missions demonstrated CASA's commitment to advancing human space exploration. The successful development and utilization of the Saturn I and Saturn V rockets, along with the innovative Block II and Block III Apollo Command/Service Modules, marked significant milestones in the journey to lunar exploration. The historic Apollo 4 and Apollo 5 missions not only showcased international cooperation but also set the stage for future manned space endeavors. These missions laid the foundation for continued exploration and scientific discovery, solidifying CASA's role as a pioneering force in the space industry and inspiring generations to come.

Post Moon Landing Era (1969 - 1975)

Following the success of the first moon landing, President Holloway authorized several more lunar missions. Apollos 6 through 24 were implemented, with only two missions not successfully landing on the Moon. Apollo 14 experienced issues with its LEM module, similar to Apollo 5, and was unable to land. Instead, it conducted successful orbital reconnaissance for Apollo 15, which benefited from the fixes implemented after Apollo 14's issues.

In 1972 CE, Apollo 18 faced a tragic incident. The mission's Commander, Rudavian Cosmonaut Major Shirokov Anatolievich, died heroically during a spacewalk to repair a damaged oxygen line caused by a catastrophic explosion in the mixing tanks. Despite the successful repair, his tether snapped, and he was lost to space. Major Anatolievich managed to say his goodbyes to his family, facilitated by CASA Mission Control, before he asphyxiated. His sacrifice saved the rest of the crew and secured his legacy as a hero in Nodea Rudav and CASA.

Following this tragedy, President Holloway ordered a temporary hold on CASA's operations for six months in 1972 to 1973, mandating a thorough review and correction of the Apollo program's issues. Public confidence was severely shaken, and CASA's Chief Administrator was replaced due to public pressure. Hughes Jackton, retired at the time, was brought back to lead the agency through this crisis.

Under Jackton's leadership, CASA focused on fixing and retrofitting existing Apollo mission parts. By mid-1973, Saturn rockets were once again launched, and Jackton laid plans for a new space station using parts from the Saturn IC era. The Apollo program concluded with Apollo 22 in 1975, and in 1976, Apollo 23 launched the Skylab space station. Apollos 24 and 25 maintained and expanded Skylab, preparing it for a dormant period with corrections learned from the Continental Space Station.

The Space Shuttle Era (1976 - 1981)

Following the test model, CASA constructed three Orbiter-class Space Shuttles: the CASA-S-01 Plymouth, CASA-S-02 Imperius, and CASA-S-03 Vigilance. The Plymouth reestablished contact with Skylab, renamed Space Station Apollo in 1978 and reclassified as a research station. It was expanded using leftover Saturn V parts retrofitted into space station compartments.

President Holloway passed away in late 1979, having seen his goals for CASA fulfilled. Hughes Jackton also resigned at 77, succeeded by Chief Administrator Bershova Vladislavovna, the first female to reach lunar orbit. During her tenure, CASA added several more shuttles to its fleet, including the CASA-S-04 Enterprise, CASA-S-05 Anagonia, CASA-S-06 Excalibur, and CASA-S-07 Trinity.

President Christine Kent succeeded Holloway and served until 1981 CE, working closely with Chief Administrator Vladislavovna to support CASA's needs. During this period, Nodea Rudav developed and produced the Buran-shuttle concept, adding the CASA-B-01 Reliance and CASA-B-02 Typhoon to CASA's fleet in mid-1978. By late 1979, additional Buran shuttles, CASA-B-03 Serenity, CASA-B-04 Tsunami, and CASA-B-05 Blizzard, were integrated into CASA operations.

Between 1980 and 1981 CE, CASA invested in private industry rockets such as the Delta Rocket and Trident I, while continuing to use Titan III rockets.

The Space Station Era (1981 - 1985)

With President Rudolf Jarod Hart's election in 1981 CE, CASA embarked on a new era of space exploration. Under Chief Administrator Vladislavovna's leadership, CASA received a fresh Presidential Directive: Expand into Space. Recognizing the importance of understanding the implications of permanent habitation in space, CASA initiated an ambitious project to revitalize and modernize Space Station Apollo. Leveraging the capabilities of CASA's Orbiter and Buran shuttles, the retrofitting of the station was completed by 1985. Concurrently, construction began on Space Station Confederation, a testament to CASA's commitment to pushing the boundaries of space exploration.

Expansion into Space (1985 - 1990)

President Amalia Sutton, who assumed office in 1986 CE, embraced the vision of her predecessors to expand CASA's presence in space. Launching a series of ambitious initiatives, CASA propelled space probes deeper into the Esvanovian solar system while nearing the completion of Space Station Confederation. By 1988, the station was fully operational, orbiting above Space Station Apollo. Together, these stations ushered in a new era of exploration, facilitating CASA's endeavors to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos and pave the way for sustained human presence in space.

The Dormant Years (1991 - 1996)

The presidency of Darrell Farmer, beginning in 1991 CE, marked a period of relative stagnation for CASA. Focused solely on maintaining orbital ambitions, Farmer shelved plans for a lunar base despite announcements of ambitious lunar missions. Between 1991 and 1996, CASA's achievements were limited to satellite launches, probes, and sporadic shuttle missions, reflecting a subdued period in the agency's history.

The Resurgence (1996 - 2000)

Following Farmer's departure from office and Chief Administrator Vladislavovna's retirement in 1996, CASA underwent a revitalization. President Von Huey Cunningham appointed Lara Williamson as Chief Administrator, drawing upon her extensive experience within CASA as an engineer. Under Williamson's leadership, CASA embarked on a comprehensive modernization effort, revamping its electronics, infrastructure, manufacturing processes, and administrative practices, heralding a new era of innovation and progress for the agency.

One significant challenge facing CASA was the outdated and costly expendable launch vehicles used for missions. In response, Chief Administrator Williamson initiated the Future Reusable Launch Rocket Initiative (FRLRI) in 1996. Recognizing the importance of launch rockets for the Confederate States Military's satellite defense network, the initiative received substantial subsidies from the military.

In 1999, CASA unveiled the prototype of the Jupiter I reusable launch rocket, marking a milestone in the FRLRI. Led by Colonel Baily Brown and Administrator Jason Pickman, the Jupiter I trials initially encountered setbacks but evolved into partial success with the modified Jupiter I-A variant. Despite its improved performance, the craft awaited final approval for operational deployment.

Development on the Jupiter II, the successor to the Jupiter I, commenced in 1999, with completion anticipated by 2003.

The Modern Era (2000s-Onward)

The transition from President Cunningham's administration to President Valentine Shields marked a significant period of growth and advancement for CASA. Building upon the reforms initiated under Cunningham's tenure, CASA experienced exponential progress, propelled by a collaborative effort with the Federal Spatial Advancement Administration (FSAA). Notably, Anagonian Astronaut Major Andrew Booth (CSAF) participated in the Marina Program's Marina 12 mission, marking a historic return of Anagonians to the lunar surface.
