Flagship Projects[edit | edit source]
Formed from the aftermath of the dissolution of the Communist Union of the Novella Islands and NIBAO's absorbing of the primarily military-focused aerospace programs conducted during the Great War, the initial Flagship Project for the new NIBAO was scheduled as a single 25-year project. Subsequent projects were realised as 30-year projects, with two running simultaneously, each offset by 15 years from one another.
| Planned Years | Actual Years | Project | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970 - 1995 | 1970 - 1998 (Program) 1982 - 1998 (Station) |
Progress | Permanently-crewed low Earth orbit space station | Administration transferred to the Empire of Opthelia |
| 1995 - 2025 | 1995 - Present (Program) 2001 - Present (Telescopes) |
Horizons | Seven orbital telescopes, each specialised for a particular region of the electromagnetic spectrum:

Curiosity | Permanently-crewed low Earth orbit space station | Ongoing |
| 2025 - 2055 | 2025 - Present (Program) | Pioneer | Manned Mars landing | Ongoing |
Supplementary Projects[edit | edit source]
Supplementary Projects are smaller and more focused than the broad and aspirational Flagship Projects, and typically have an initial timeframe of 10 or 15 years. As with the Flagship Projects, these initially budgeted program lengths have often been extended with additional milestones, for as long as the mission hardware remains operational.
