The Space and Aeronautical Research Agency (SARA) (宇宙航空研究開発機構, Uchū kōkū kenkyū kaihatsukikō) is the Kozakuran national air and space agency. Jointly-managed by three governmental directorates, SARA was formed on 24 February 1987. SARA is responsible for research, technology development, and launch of satellites into orbit. The agency is also involved in many advanced missions such as asteroid exploration and human exploration of the moon.

History

Administration

All of SARA's physical presence is in the military-controlled Onogoro Island, south of the Kozakuran city-state.

SARA Astronaut Corps

The Astronaut Corps is the unit of SARA responsible for selection, training, and provides crew members for manned space missions Kozakura is a part of. The SARA generally recruits astronauts who have degrees as scientists, engineers and/or medical doctors. In addition to being Kozakuran citizens, candidates must meet certain physical standards (including height, weight, hearing and visual acuity) as well as educational requirements.
