Zokesian Space Agency

The Zokeisan Space Agency, formerly the Zokesian Royal Air Force Space Agency, is a government-funded corporation tasked with expansion, colonization, and development of space by the Zokesian state. Since its founding in 2067, nearly 20 million Kerbals have worked in or flown to the stars under the ZSA banner.

History

In 2067 the Zokesian Air Force took the first steps into space for the nation, launching Odin 1,2, and 3 to Minmus to build a polar base in one of the few locations not decimated by the extraterrestrial holocaust of decades earler. The 5 year Opal mission ended in 2072 with a return of Zokesian astronauts after little scientific and economic gain was made. The conclusion was that Minmus was just too mined out after decades of city construction, war, and mining took place to be of any use.

On the First day of January, 2076, prime minister Kosonaro announced a large portion of the GDP will now go to Space operations, driving the old dream of Zokesian space colonization. The announcement was that "100,000 Zokesians" will live in space as "ambassadors to the stars." Current colony planets are Duna and Ike due to large resources and somewhat amenable climate. The goal is to have this achieved by the end of 2095.

Zokesian Colonists arrived with the Federal Institute, the headquarters of the new colony, early 2077. The three kerbals on board, Jebhat, Cannan, and Tribal, were the first to step onto the surface for Zokesia. "This is a new era" they proclaimed. Shortly after their landing a passenger Arkbird attempted to touch down to bring in supplies but crashed in the canyon northeast of the base, killing the pilot, Kellen . The Colony ships began arriving and the colonists began dropping into the base via orbital chutes, arriving with pinpoint accuracy. Underground homes are beginning to be built, with greenhouses above the surface already ready to be used thanks to the Federal Institute's landing. A fuel base will be touched down soon southeast of the base and will provide fuel, ore, and a spaceport for the colony. By the end of 2077 over 5800 Kerbals would be living on Duna, with more coming each year.
