The Aeronautics and Space Administration of Nouvelle Alexandrie (ASANA) is the national space agency of Nouvelle Alexandrie responsible for the national space program and the planning and development of space activities or technologies. ASANA formed in 1694 AN, when a government reorganization effort created the agency and separated the space program from the National Science Administration. ASANA is a subordinate agency of the Department of Research and Development. The headquarters are in the city of Cárdenas, the capital of Nouvelle Alexandrie. ASANA also maintains several other facilities in the Regions of New Luthoria, Alduria, and South Lyrica.
ASANA has pioneered several achievements in space and ballistic technology for Nouvelle Alexandrie, making use of its public-private partnerships with several corporations like Javelin Industries and Dingo Enterprises. However, due to varying levels of funding for the agency fiscal year after fiscal year, ASANA has largely lagged behind in the development and launch of space missions, focusing instead in the development of new technologies that have found ample applications in civilian and military contexts.
History
ASANA is an agency created in 1694 AN, when the Government of National Unity, led by then-President of the Government Augustus Strong issued several reorganization directives that split the agency from the National Science Administration, which was an umbrella science research arm of the government that formed part of the New Prosperity Plan of prior governments. The split was meant to ensure that the new agency would focus exclusively on Project Fortuna, the national space program, and the planning and development of space activities or technologies in Nouvelle Alexandrie.
As part of the restructuring, ASANA inherited many of the existing partnerships with private corporations in the homegrown New Alexandrian defense and aeronautics industry, as well as its partnerships with Constancian and Natopian companies. Since the reorganization, ASANA has also established partnerships with the UGB.
Since its formation, the agency has struggled with levels of funding that have been mainly devoted to the research and development of technologies with private and public companies alike that can find profitable military and civilian applications. This has brought considerable attention from several Deputies in the Federal Assembly, who wish to boost funding for the agency to continue its development of technologies but also begin launching space missions to explore space and eventually create an independent high-precision global positioning system that is owned and operated by the government of Nouvelle Alexandrie.
Activities and programs
Manned Spaceflight
Amanecer Program (1695-1696)
The Amanecer (Martino: Dawn) program was the first manned spaceflight initiative of ASANA, conducted between 1695 and 1696 AN. Designed to demonstrate the nation's capability for human space travel, it launched a total of five astronauts - including one woman, marking a milestone in Alexandrien exploration. The program's missions focused on testing life-support systems, reentry procedures, and orbital communications. Amanecer-1, launched on 15.XIV 1695 AN, brought the first Nouvelle Alexandrien into space, test pilot Alberto Canzarez. Subsequent missions, all launched in 1696 AN, expanded on the experience of Canzarez and tested important orbital maneuvering. Amanecer-4 and -5 were the first New Alexandrian craft to practice orbital rendez-vous, approaching each other within 2 km of distance, setting the stage for advanced orbital maneuvering in future programs.
Viajero Program (1697-1698)
The Viajero (Martino: Traveler) program succeeded Amanecer as the nation's first multi-manned spaceflight program, marking a new era of technical innovation and human space exploration. Conducted between 1697 and 1698 AN, the program launched a total of 9 crewed missions, each progressively advancing ASANA's spacefaring capabilities.
Viajero 2 achieved the first extravehicular activity (EVA) by Canzarez. Viajero 5 and 6 conducted the first close orbital rendezvous, proving precision maneuvering in space at a distance of only 400 m. Viajero 7 achieved the nation's first docking with an unmanned vehicle, while Viajero 8 combined both docking and EVA operations. Viajero 9, the final mission, represented the program's zenith, accomplishing docking, EVA, and orbital maneuvering. The success of the program established Nouvelle Alexandrie as a fully capable participant in advanced crewed orbital operations and paved the way for the nation's future long-duration and interplanetary programs.
Vencedor Program (1705-1708)
The Vencedor (Martino: Victory) program was the ambitious national effort to achieve a manned landing on Tarsica, the moon of Micras. Builing upon the technological and operational foundations laid by the Viajero programs, Vencedor represented the culmination of Nouvelle Alexandrie's early space exploration era.
Between its inception and completion, the program launched a total of seven missions. Vencedor 1 was the first to accomplish a three-crew manned mission. Vencedor 2 then performed the first docking and EVA necessary for interplanetary travel. Vencedor 3 was the actual first New Alexandrian mission to reach Tarsica, orbiting for a short period before returning. These early missions tested the necessary heaviy-lift capabilities, lunar navigation, and life-support systems for deep-space conditions. Venceder 4 was the actual first New Alexandrian mission to land on Tarsica, making Xavier Villalobos and Adam Dávila the very first Alexandriens to land on another planet. Venceder 5 to 8 all expanded on the first landing, with longer stays, scientific experimentation, and lunar surveying. After Venceder 8, the program was cut short due to the impact of the Recession of 1709, which meant that no more Tarsican missions were conducted afterwards.
The Tarsican landings demonstrated the nation's mastery of translunar flight, surface operations, and safe return procedures, solidifying its status as a leading power in space exploration inspiring a new generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers across Micras.
Aurora Program (1715-1722)
The Aurora (Martino: Dawn) program marked the next phase in Nouvelle Alexandrie's exploration, inaugurating the nation's era of permanent human presence in orbit. Conceived as the succesor of the Vencedor program, Aurora aimed to construct, inhabit, and utilize the first New Alexandrien space station, establishing a platform for long-duration missions and orbital research. Over the course of 15 missions, the program assembled and crewed the station in multiple phases, each building upon the successes of the last. The completed complex eventually comprised four primary modules:
- A Habitat Module for life support, living quarters, and environmental systems;
- A Space Lab for microgravity research and experimentation;
- The Airlock module to support visiting spacecraft and EVAs; and
- the Aurora Space Telescope, the first space telescope developed for manned operations that enabled direct astronomical observations from crews in orbit.
The Aurora Station was eventually decommisioned in 1722 AN, with its orbital decay leading to its eventual disintegration in 1725 AN. The program not only demonstrated the nation's growing expertise in orbital engineering and human endurance, but also transformed its space program from pure exploration to sustained presence, setting the stage for future interplanetary endeavors and cooperative missions beyond Micras orbit.
Robotic Exploration
Micras Observation
The program for planetary observation of Micras represent Nouvelle Alexandrie's long-term effort to study and monitor Micras from orbit, supporting science, environmental management, and exploration. These missions have in the past been conducted through a variety of programs, including:
- Explorador (1697-1702 AN), a broad-spectrum analysis program ranging from atmospheric, ionospheric, to magnetospheric research. These early missions provided vital data for planetary science, weather prediction, and orbital research.
- GEOM (1702-1706 AN), a geodetic monitoring program, precisely measuring Micras' shape, gravitational fields, and tectonic motion. GEOM's data refined national mapping standards as well as created the very first satellite navigational systems.
- Vigilante del Mar (1707-1714 AN), a oceanic monitoring program, to monitor sea levels, currents, and tides. Its findings were vital for climate modeling, ecological management, and maritime navigation.
- Espectador (1708-1715 AN), a satellite imaging program, dedicated to high-resolution orbital observation. Used for environmental surveys, agriculture, navigational systems, disaster prediction, and urban planning.
Two other satellites from other programs nominally in the Galactic Observers mission also involve Micras observation, however due to their unique mission aim and advanced analysis are different from the aforementioned programs. These are:
- Aeronomy of Atmospheric Ice Observatory, or AAIO (1705 AN), which researches the presence of atmospheric ice in Micras' atmosphere.
- Gravity Research Satellite, or GRS (1706 AN), which is an advanced observatory for gravitational analysis and anomalies.
Planetary Explorers
The program for planetary exploration beyond Micras represent Nouvelle Alexandrie's commitment to deep space exploration and understanding of the Atos System and its planets. As of current, ASANA has conducted programs to Tarsica, Atos, Pyros, and Eos.
- Descrubrimiento (1700-1703 AN), conducted the first flybys of Tarsica, mapping its surface and identifying landing sites for missions of Vencedor. It provided critical data on surface composition, gravity, and temperature.
- Tarsica Topógrafo (1703-1709 AN), followed Descrubrimiento with orbiter and lander/impacter missions equipped for surveying; and later for seismic and atmospheric research. It confirmed the moon's internal structure, surface geology, and exosphere.
- Atos Explorador (1703 AN), deployed four solar orbiters in close succession, designed to study solar radiation, magnetic fields, and coronal activity. It provided vital data on Atos' influence on Micras' climate and space weather.
- Observador (1705-1712 AN), executed flybys, orbiter, and lander/impacter missions to Pyros, revealing its unique atmospheric conditions, rocky terrain, and magnetospheric properties.
- Eos Topógrafo (1709-1714 AN), executed flybys, orbiters, and lander/impacter missions to Eos, revealing its extreme atmosphere, arid climate, and tectonic activity.
Three other satellites from other programs nominally in the Galactic Observers mission also involve Atos observation, however due to their unique mission aim and advanced analysis are vastly different from the aforementioned programs. These are:
- HE Solar Spectroscopic Satellite, or HES3 (1707 AN), which performs high energy research to solar flares and core activity.
- Solar Magnetosphere Explorer, or SME (1707 AN), which researches the solar magnetosphere and anomalies.
- Transition Region and Coronal Explorer, or TRACE (1708 AN), which researches solar corona and transitional region activity.
Galactic Observers
The program for galactic observation represent Nouvelle Alexandrie's effort to perform astronomical research beyond Micras, studying the galaxy and universe with unprecedented precision. These missions are organized into two complementary programs:
- Guardianes Pequeño (1705-1711 AN), which consist of broad-spectrum satellites designed to survey the universe across a vast range of wavelengths, from submillimeter waves to X-rays. Some of the mission aims include research into galactic formation, planetary auroras, and interstellar space. These compact but versatile observatories gather data on cosmic evolution and high-energy phenomena.
- Celestiales (1706-1713 AN), which focuses on space telescopes covering the full electromagnetic spectrum, including infrared, visible, UV, X-ray, and Gamma Ray. These missions are focused on providing detailed imaging and spectroscopic studies of stars, galaxies, nebulae, and distant celestial objects.
Leadership and Organization
ASANA was established as a government institution to assume the following main responsibilities:
- signing governmental agreements in the space area on behalf of Nouvelle Alexandrie;
- inter-governmental scientific and technical exchanges;
- the enforcement of national space policies and managing the national space science, technology, and industry.
Nouvelle Alexandrie has signed governmental space cooperation agreements with Natopia, Constancia, and the UGB. This has led to greater technology exchanges and cooperation.
Administrators of ASANA are appointed by the Council of State of Nouvelle Alexandrie and confirmed by the lower chamber of the Cortes Federales, the Federal Assembly.
