The Cenaesian Space Authority (CSA) is a Supranational Union created to develop, enforce, and coordinate standards for activty in Terran orbit and beyond by national governments and private entities alike. Since its inception the Cenaesian Space Authority has assisted in individual national space programs to coordinate and collaborate with other Cenaesian, and occasionally non-cenaesian, space programs to develop joint rocketry and scientific programs. CSA has a staff of over seventy-five thousand personnal spread between various missions, projects, and facilities. The organization was first founded as a way to facilitate the legal and standardization discussions needed to make plans for an international space station come to fruition.
The Cenaesian Space Authority effectively regulations space travel in the Sol System, and is the principal operator of the Terran Orbital Tether Network and coordinates efforts for the development and maintenance of the Terran Orbital Defense Matrix.
History
Early Operations (1979-1981)
The Cenaesian Space Agency was formed in October 1979 in order to facilitate the necessary bureaucratic functions needed to create an international space station which was interoperable with the equipment of the various national space programs of the Cenaesian continent. Specifically, the space station was meant to eventually house ten spásaire (Rhineish: Astronaut) concurrently. In order to accomplish this, the space programs of the Crown Kingdoms, Midland Republic, and the Republic of Tortuga Blanca created the original charter of the CSA— empowering the organization to set binding technical standards and procedures. z Among the first standards developed was a new universal docking adaptor known as the Universal D'ocking Mechanism, capable of providing access for personal as well as the connection of utilities such as power, communications, and fuel between voidcraft. In the interim, to minimize expenses, a universal adaptor series was designed which had on the exterior facing side the newly standardized connections of the UDM and on the interior crossover connectors compatible with each of the nations disparate standards. As a result the three adaptors were dubbed the Universal Docking Mechanism Adaptor Series A/B/C. Each letter represented the nonstandard docking port which it was compatible with.
