2 CREATING A SPACE NATION
On 12 October 2016, at a press conference in Paris, Igor Ashurbeyli, a distin- guished aerospace scientist, visionary and philanthropist, announced the creation of Asgardia, the first space nation in the history of humanity.
It is a global, integrative project, aimed at fostering peace, providing free access to space technologies for all nations and their citizens, and protecting planet Earth from natural and man-made threats from outer space.
Asgardia’s concept comprises three parts – philosophical, legal and scientific/technological
Asgardia invites everyone into the future 3 PHILOSOPHY
Asgardia’s philosophy began with selecting the nation’s name – Asgardia. In ancient mythology, Asgard was a country in the skies, the country of gods, the country of dreams.
Asgardia’s distinction in the philosophical sense is serving all humanity and every individual regardless of their personal prosperity or the prosperity of their country of origin
Asgardia’s philosophical envelope is to ‘digitalise’ the Noosphere, the mirror image of humanity in space, but without the Earthly division into states, religions and nations. In Asgardia, we are all - Earthlings!
Asgardia’s motto is: One Humanity – One Unity.

LEGALITIES
Many of the problems relating to global space law remain unresolved. There is too much influence of geopolitical conflicts, rooted in the history of Earthly nations. That is why it is time to create a new judicial reality in space.
Asgardia’s core principle is that future space law should not become the law of the jungle. Today, only about 20 countries on Earth, out of about 200, have a space presence and lay their claim to a monopoly and certain exclusivity.
Future space law must provide equal opportunities to all countries, not just to the ones that already have active space programmes and commercial interests in space
A core legal principle is that Asgardia does not interfere in relations between states on Earth – and vice versa.
Asgardia proposes ‘astropolitics’ as opposed to ‘geopolitics’ 5 SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL
Peace, Access and Protection are the three scientific and technological goals of Asgardia
PEACE - to ensure the peaceful use of space.
ACCESS - to create a demilitarised and free scientific base of knowledge in space. This will provide free access for all, especially for those in developing countries who do not currently have access to space access. Such access should be free and direct.
PROTECTION - to protect planet Earth from natural and man-made space threats.
6 Asgardia opens up space for everyone TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Asgardia's technical structure in space is comprised of three types of segments. Orbital segments:
Satellites Clusters of net- Protective space Space arcs work-centric small sat- platforms ellites and nanosatellites Earthly segments:
Mission Control Launch facility Mission center Satellite factory Center Moon segments or localities will be represented by settlements and businesses.
The space technologies of Asgardia will protect planet Earth 7 FIRST HALF A MILLION PEOPLE
The official website, asgardia.space, was launched on 12 October 2016, and more than 100,000 people applied in the 40 hours following the announce- ment of Asgardia’s creation. More than 500,000 applied in the first 20 days
At present, website counters show the current number of Asgardians who have passed the second level of the verification, as well as the future citizens of Asgardia who have passed the third level of verification and have voted on the Constitution, the flag, the coat of arms and the anthem.
Upon completion of the registration and the acceptance of the Constitution – the third level of verification – every new Asgardian is issued a certificate with a unique ID number.
This ID number will be used in the future for receiving an ID card and, finally, a passport, as well as for obtaining various services from the state, including social services and banking operations.
8 In Asgardia we are all - Earthlings WHO ARE WE, ASGARDIANS?
The current population of Asgardia consists of citizens of 204 Earthly nations, 175 of which are members of the UN. The Asgardia administration team organises regional groups on forums and in social networks to allow Asgardians to communicate in their native languages.
