The Sayaffallan Space Program's official title is the Sayaffallan Space Program Service and was founded in 1842 out of a desire to explore the unknown and enhance the capabilities of mankind. The SPS today is the main government body regulating space travel within Sayaffallah and the launching of platforms into orbit for commercial, industrial and governmental applications.
History of the Program
Development & Conception
The program was first conceived by a working committee of scientists in Sayaffallah to explore the possibility and potential for space travel beyond the atmosphere of the planet. These scientists came together from a variety of disciplines in Sayaffallah to explore the logical, rational and metaphysical requirements for entering into space and for sustaining life in a space environment. Astrophysicists had already established The League of Space approximately ten years earlier which delved into the equations necessary in an engineering and a physical sense for propelling mankind into space. It was this foundation that gave birth to the need for a more comprehensive look at space exploration and travel and in 1861 the Sayaffallan Space Exploration Corps was founded as a private sector entity dedicated to putting a formal probe into space within five years time.
Several universities across the country dedicated extensive manpower and effort to the project specifically working to determine the right kind of vehicle needed to propel into space and to sustain life there. Several experimental probes were sent into space in 1862 (Propus 1) and 1863 (Propus II & Propus III & Propus IV) as well as 1864 (Victus I) but the threshold defining moment came in 1865 when Victus II reached through earth's atmosphere before crashing back to earth and smashing through the roof of a fire station setting it fully ablaze in an inferno of fire.
Atmospheric Tests & Discoveries
In 1871 a major breakthrough took place as scientists and researchers found that by altering the fuel composition they could fully change the color of the flame of a rocket's propulsion mainly through thermionic emission. Thermionic emission is essentially a thermal induced flow of particles with freedom of movement from a surface or energy barrier. This is able to happen because the particles (which can either be electrons or ions) overcome the minimum amount of energy needed to charge the material or surface it is interacting with thus creating a thermally induced interaction commonly known as a Thermionic emission. The discovery of thermionic emissions was done by a Sayaffallan scientist in 1871 and found that through the fluctuations of thermionic emissions the wavelength of light passing through it could be changed at high speed thus changing the color spectrum available to the eye and making it possible as a result to track the movement of an object with a thermionic emission by use of telescope and available observatory scopes.
This breakthrough meant that rockets could now be tracked as they left the atmosphere of the planet and entered into space itself thus allowing physicists to make more accurate calculations as to the distance, speed and trajectory of rockets once departed from the atmosphere. Atmospheric tests were conducted to determine if the thermionic exchange fluctuated through the various levels of sub-strata atmosphere and high level atmosphere and it was found that the integrity of the rocket or object being propelled into space neither lost its structural integrity or its aerodynamic capability for flight as it had in prior tests using a different thermionic exchange. Later in 1871 further tests were conducted on the principle of thermionic exchange and it was found that temperature fluctuations had the ability to change the variety and strength of current sent across the surface during combustion of the fuels needed for rocket ignition. By changing the temperature it was possible to both cool the exchange and to increase the amount of ions propelling across the surface thus allowing for a more energy efficient ignition into the atmosphere of space itself.
The First Space Flight
In 1902 the League of Space achieved a breakthrough in their research showing that with a negative ionization they could achieve both propulsion and significant lift without disintegrating the object being propelled. Further tests showed that a conical design of a craft achieved both stability and successful projection. So in the summer of 1902 the League of Space sent its first human being into orbit which lasted for 48 hours and the conical ship plummeted back to earth and made impact in a large lake in the northernmost part of the country capsizing a wooden vessel that it smashed through on its way down. The human within the capsule survived impact and reported having seen the shape of the planet and experiencing intense cold from within the ship before it was rocketed back into the planet's atmospherical pull and then down into the lake itself.
This brave soul was none other than the Crown Prince of Sayaffallah Ismael I who would go onto pursue significant studies in the area of aerospace engineering and become a forefront in the pioneering of the field in later years specifically during his tenure as director of the Sayaffallah Space Program Service. The findings however were astounding as negative ionization showed that the craft maintained sufficient speed even after exiting the atmosphere of the planet and entering into space itself. The photographs that were taken from space also dazzled the imagination and informed scientific inquiries specifically showing the scale and scope of Sayaffallah from space itself.
Founding of the Sayaffallan Space Program Service
1919 the League of Space voted with no dissenting votes to disband and to reform as the Sayaffallan Space Program with the intent of establishing regular trips into space by humans and working to explore space itself. The inauguration of the Sayaffallan Space Program also named the Crown Prince, Ismael I as the benefactor and the first director of the agency and placed it under the purview of the Ministry of Exploration. The new program began aggressively working to launch more rockets into space and to design a prototype that would take humans into space specifically for the purpose of exploring planets in the galaxy. The Space Program was something that captured public interest and became the feature of magazines and news reels in the cinemas of Sayaffallah and something that politicians made campaigns about during this period of time. It seemed that every young man desired to be a space explorer and to go looking for new planets and galaxies and stars.
One of the first things done was in 1926 with the launching of an expandable frame into space along with two rockets containing a total of eightspace explorers into space. Once in space these space explorers were able to expand the frame which once locked in place created a steel box shaped frame with ports for other parts which were sent up within twenty four hours of the space explorers entering into orbit. These parts locked into the ports and formed oxygen rich enclosed areas for living by the space explorers with reinforced glass and transparent plastic circular observation domes to allow for a look out into the environment around them. This new home was known as Biosys I and became the home of the space explorers for a period of 2 weeks while they orbited around the planet. Within two weeks time a new frame was sent into space along with eight more space explorers allowing for a new habitation area to be created and it also joined the orbit around the planet allowing for the space explorers to see the world around them. A total of four different habitation areas were sent into space allowing for the entire planet to be covered by at least one habitation environment at any given time during its orbit. After two more weeks the space explorers received replacements and the originals went home in a specialized transport created over the full four weeks period and sent up to them which docked with each of the habitation areas before returning to the planet itself where the space explorers were greeted as national heroes of Sayaffallah
DSEXP
Deep Space Exploration Program was launched in 1942 after over twenty years of consecutive research by space explorers in orbit around the planet and also by researchers in the space program on the ground and in 1942 a major breakthrough was acheived and implemented almost immediately. It was discovered that when ions are accelerated rapidly through simple charging that can be done through electrical connection that those ions can create a rapid buildup velocity which allows for extremely fast movement beyond what the regular engine prototypes were able to do. By ionizing the engines and the rocket boosters the output would result in positive ionization and thus a new level of speed for probes. The first tests were conducted in the S1 Rocket Lab located in a bunker outside of the capital of Bellissimomare and it was found that the sheer force of the ionization through positive charge could propel enough force to send the object an astonishing 4600 mph without disintegrating the core structure or aerodynamic integrity of the vessel.
The first rocket with human onboard was the YGD I Probe which was sent into deep space on July 1, 1946 and on July 2, 1946 a communications relay was sent at the same trajectory into space allowing for a constant communications link to work between ground control in Sayaffallah and the YGD I probe. The probe settled eventually into the gravitational pull of another planet and entered into orbit of a planet that would be known as the Wistes after the cat of the space explorer, Hugh Beroniam, who discovered it. Communications uplink revealed that the planet contained large amounts of water and small islands scattered across it but that it seemed to be uninhabited altogether. Several resupply probes were sent with the same engine type as the YGD I probe allowing Hugh Beroniam to resupply and continue observation of the planet from its gravitational field. On July 2, 1956 approximately ten years after the probe first reached the gravitational field of Wistes the probe departed after refueling and returned to Sayaffallah where Hugh Beroniam was decorated as a Hero of Sayaffallah for his accomplishments.
Space Tourism & Disaster of 1960
In 1960 the Western Corporation of Sayaffallah launched a secretive rocket with a family of five into space, the rocket did not have enough propulsion but yet made it into space. However once in space the rocket lost its trajectory and heading and plummeted back into earth and crashed in a fiery explosion into a mosque in the city of Al Najar causing the deaths of over 200 worshipers including the family of five. This tragedy shook the nation to its core and the general public began demanding greater oversight of public and commercial space activities. And after 4 years of contentious debate and failure to act the Parliament passed a law requiring that all future space activities by private and commercial entities receive permission at least 1 year in advance from the SPS. The was unpopular with many of the private corporations seeking to begin space exploration but soon they became accustomed to it.
In 1976 a company received permission for and soon launched 12 platforms into space which once linked together formed over 12 pods capable of housing 100 people at any given time. Soon they received permission to take 40 people into space to this new platform they dubbed the "Planetary Resort" and the first 40 individuals were crammed onto 40 separate rockets and sent into space after receiving extensive emergency training on what to expect and the potential ways they could die if shit hit the fan during their time in space. These individuals stayed for one week in space attending lectures and seeing scientific demonstrations in space by original space explorers who were paid to accompany the trip. This watershed moment also was the first attempt at space tourism and heralded a moment in time in which space would no longer be just the realm of scientists and researchers but the abode of tourists as well.
Colonization Program
The 1980s specifically 1980-1989 brought about the Westes Colonization Program which saw the planet of Westes colonized by a public-private partnership mix specifically aiming at cultivating the natural resources of the planet which were determined to be high amounts of uranium, petroleum, natural gas, plutonium, gold, diamonds and phosphate. The colonization of the planet was done in deliberate stages with the final stage involving the year round planetary habitation by citizens of Sayaffallah. This also saw the creation of the Sayaffallan Space Corps designed to monitor, protect, and defend the atmosphere and resources of planets under the possession of the Sayaffallan government after discovery, exploration and colonization. The creation of a Space Corps brought on new challenges specifically for the defense of territory in a space context.
Researchers found that the most plausible method of defense was simply by deterrence and by projecting confidently into areas recently discovered and working to provide these areas to researchers from other countries to deepen public understanding. By working to make space exploration and colonization more of a planetary concept and scope it made it so that it was not exclusively Sayaffallan but open to any other nation that desired to join Sayaffallah in the process. The framework for this established that joint exploration would result in joint ownership with the percentages of ownership split evenly among the participating parties. This model prevented the development of any situation in which hostilities might occur and result in the need for weaponized vessels in space. However the other prong of deterrence is that of preparation and in that vein the researchers and scientists of the SSC (Sayaffallan Space Corps) worked to develop ion based weaponry that could keep unwanted intrusions from occuring in the atmosphere of any planets.
Largely however the military end of the Space Corps focused on defence within the planets themselves such as protecting in the event a hostile force were to enter the atmosphere of a colonized planet and attempt to claim it. The SPC developed capabilities to defend airspace, maritime and land areas of the colonized planets and by 1989 the SPC regularly held military demonstrations and exercises to hone their capabilities in the event that they might one day have to be used they would be prepared to do so.
Ministry of Energy Governance
In 2006 the Ministry of Exploration folded and became a part of the Ministry of Energy as Parliament desired to streamline government to be able to accomplish its common aims without expending vast amounts of currency. This moved formally transferred the SPS into the Ministry of Energy and focused future exploration and space activities into areas of public private partnerships so as to encourage financial viability in the long term.
Workforce & Current Projects
Workforce
The SPS has a total workforce size of 652,000 comprising all of its various arms and research bodies and is primarily responsible for ensuring compliance by the private sector and working to research new technologies to make space travel more feasible in the near term and the future. The SPS now has an active undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate division of its workforce totaling approximately 12,500 employees who spend their higher education career within the SPS achieving degrees from the SPS University which includes components at each level of academic study.
Current Projects
The SPS is presently working on hyperspace technology turning blue ionization into a higher more efficient means of acceleration and thus increasing the ability to penetrate deep space with a higher rate of ease. The HST as it is called is undergoing testing at the SP2 Rocket Facility in Hellas to ensure it is viable for human use or if it will ultimately become an unmanned probe. Other projects include working to expand service between commercial projects and government support stations and improving communications by strengthening the communications band signal at each facility within space and on the planet of Westes itself.
In addition to this the SPS has recently opened a Space Command Service Headquarters in continual orbit which provides a hub for communications between deep space probes and planetary exploration as well as the over 60 different planetary orbit stations operated by the SPS. The new SPCSHQ has housing for 400 staff and crew members and presently is attached to 10 space orbitational probes by way of a interspace corridor attachment which has allowed the SPCSHQ to bridge ditance and maintain regular access to these pods for continued experimentation on the atmospheric and sub-orbital levels.

Public Sector Initiatives
Children in Space Program
The Children in Space Program (CSP) is an initiative started by director Daria Ramouth in 2004 which endeavors to take bright and talented children and train them to be modern space explorers. These children between the ages of 6 and 15 are trained for four years and then are put in a rocket capsule and blasted into space arriving onboard the SPCSHQ where they develop, design and implement their own projects within the parameters of the space program in Sayaffallah to advance research and understanding into key concepts. Only 2 children have been lost to space in this program after they wandered off and entered into the entry release area and jumped into space itself and floated away while they tried to pull themselves back to the station. This incident was a national tragedy in Sayaffallah and resulted in closer parameters of participation in the program and also working to childproof certain parts of the station to ensure that the children did not accidently step into space on their own.
The Children in Space program has an annual participation class of 2,100 students all of which ultimately end up in space at the SPCSHQ at some point in time after finishing their training. Typically they will remain in space and will take classes while in space from educators blasted into space as well who ensure that these students remain on track to be competitive in the admissions process for universities and colleges across the country. After returning to the planet the children are debriefed and are taken for diagnostics tests and then complete any remaining conclusions to their projects while on the planet itself.
Presently the CSP is working to develop the ability to launch children into deep space particularly sending them to the planet of Westes where they can conduct projects in deep space environments and open up new insights into these areas. Testing is ongoing to ensure that children would be able to handle the journey into deep space without any adverse reactions or affects and to ensure that they would have sufficient time to travel there and to accomplish their own projects. It is expected that within the next four to five years the first group of children will be blasted into deep space on trajectory for the planet of Westes.
Space Pregnancy Program
One exciting area of research has been in the Space Pregnancy Program. It was demonstrated that the birth of a child in a zero gravity environment greatly minimizes the pain a mother experiences during pregnancy due to the fact that the organs within an expectant mother are not pulled by the motions of childbirth in zero gravity as they are in a gravity centered environment. Thus ongoing research has been conducted and has found that infants born in a zero gravity environment show significant spikes in their overall cognitive functioning activating key factors of emotional awareness which eventually grows into emotional maturity later on in the teenage years and also in intellectual growth which increases intelligence and academic development during the adolescent and young adult years. These findings have been consistent since the start of the program in 1988 demonstrating that those born in space typically thrive better than those born back in Sayaffallah under normal conditions.
The program has become so popular in Sayaffallah that is must now hold a lottery to allow a certain percentage of applying women to travel into space. Those who apply are pre-screened to ensure that they have no pre-existing complications or disorders that could prevent them from having a successful pregnancy either in Sayaffallah or in space and those who pass the preliminary tests are placed into the general lottery. Typically each year 62,000 people are selected and travel up to the Pregnancy Module of the SPCSHQ to participate in the child birth process. To enable women to travel successfully into a space environment the initial launch is done with a blue ionized delayed launch rocket which slows the rocket down travelling substantially slower during the first stages of leaving atmosphere but upon entering into the outer edges of atmosphere where turbulence is not an issue as much the rockets switch over the the regular charged ionized function with reserve rockets able to kick in if the general rockets fail thus increasing its speed to standard levels and allowing it to reach the SPCSHQ within the normal transit time. Each rocket has a team of nurses and doctors onboard who monitor the vital signs and during the launch sequence are able to adjust the medicine drip based on any emerging problems that may occur.
Resource Cultivation System
The Research Cultivation System or RCS is a program developed in 2001 designed to allow for resources on the planet of Westes to be cultivate and transported back to Sayaffallah quickly and safely. Initially it was an explorative program designed to analyze and explore the resources of the planet of Westes and to report those findings back in virtual real time to scientists on the ground and also in the SPCSHQ. However as knowledge increased cultivation of those resources became the second prong of the program and cultivation probes were sent into Westes and assembled by scientists living on the planet to ensure that it would be able to extract and refine and process the resources in a quick and efficient manner.
From there those on Westes assembled the next stage of putting together the rockets with the ionized engine necessary to transport it back to Sayaffallah quickly and safely. The ionization of these engines was the most technically difficult process ensuring that the balance of ion exchange was done at the right levels so as to maintain the integrity of the structure of the craft. After the resources were loaded into the storage bays of the craft remote ignition was achieved and the resources were transported readily back to Sayaffallah for further analysis and study and eventual sale to commercial interest and corporations for practical applications at home.
