The ASC is Ahia’s national space program, responsible for the civil space program and space research.

ASC was established to replace the AAC in 1946 to further Ahia’s knowledge about and presence in space. It was the Xth nation to launch a satellite into space, and the oldest space program in Anteria. ASC has led Ahia’s space exploration since 1946, including the Vetla program, the Vels program and the U program.

History

Establishment

Following the launch of Nelta-1 by the Ahian Aeronautic Commission, it was decided that in order to further Ahian ventures into space, a new commission should be founded. After more and more space launches by the AAC, and less funding for the AAC as it was nearly obsolete and replaced by the Ahian Airforce, the need for an Ahian Space agency was more urgent. Eventually, in 1947, the Ahian Space Commission was founded by State-King Setula Eja.

Early years

The first launch by the ASC was in 1948 from Keenis Space Port, Keenisia (Now KAR). The rocket was intended to send a small, basic satellite into orbit of Anteria, but failed due to miscalculations regarding the rocket’s efficiency and the lack of guidance systems, it failed. It was decided that it would not be possible to reach orbit until more efficient engines and smaller computers were developed and the ASC focused more on Sub-orbital experiments, with some reaching as high as 400km.

Post-Lunar landing

Following the San Calian manned mission to the Moon, it was decided that in order for the ASC to keep up with the rest of Anteria’s space fairing nations, they should embark on a manned mission. This resulted in more funding and support for the ASC, and with this extra funding the ASC was eventually left with 2 proposals in 1976, the “Ve lektla” and the “Venos Kekorari Kaaf”. Both were put into protection, with the VKK reaching space in 1983 and the VL reaching space in 1987. The VL was eventually retired in 2010, as it was decided that it did not server a use that couldn’t be fulfilled by the Proton or the VKK.
