The Ilbon Aerospace and Cosmos Bureau (Ilbonese: Irubon kōkū uchū-kyoku; IACB) is a Government agency headquartered in Ilbon and delegated with the responsibility of researching and developing aerospace technologies, testing new spacecraft, and generally advancing Ilbon's understanding of the sciences related to the cosmos as well as technologies which go towards the exploration of it. The IACB was established on August 16, 1953 by Prime Minister Wi Dong-Yul in response to the founding of other space agencies around the world and to keep pace with the rest of the world technologically. The IACB works in coordination with Inkyoku, Ilbon's state-owned aerospace corporation, to conduct research as well as tests and launches across Ilbon. On top of this, the IACB also works with civilian technology producers - such as Ten'i and Genzai - to advance technologies for the civilian sector as well.
The IACB on a national level acts as an organizing point for all the various aerospace design bureaus, space corporations, and tech bureaus. While these entities, both private and national, are grouped under the overarching administrative umbrella of the IACB voluntarily, the IACB still exercises the authority to use their resources in whatever way it sees fit. In the scenario that the resources have been misused, the organization which had its resources drawn from will be compensated accordingly. On the world stage, Ilbon works with the Defense Treaty of Independent Nations and Nuwea to both counter ASL influence in space and advance its own interests in orbit as well as those of its partner nations.
Naei, a city in inner Ilbon is home to the headquarters of the IACB. The agency owns nine launch sites across Ilbon: Osaga Space Port,Naei Launch Complex,and Rynda Astrohub are among the largest of the nine. Through the central Ilbonese government, the IACB owns several universities around Ilbon.
