What do you name your space agencies?

[Xander3838]

Parsec Industries. I just like the sound of it. And a parsec is a unit of distance equal to 3.26 lightyears.

[CptNuts]

Except the Kerbal Space Programm I have only a Company, aiding the Programm with Parts, Ships and Technology, that Company is N-Tech AeroSpace Solutions (NT-AS)

N-Tech is currently also cooparating with the German Aeronautic and Spaceflight Engineers Kerbin (gasek) and their Rover Development Department

I am planning, for Version .20, to create the Society for the Exploration and Study of Air and Space on Kerbin an Beyond (SESASKB), so I can form a Joint Venture between N-Tech and the society (and have a reason to make some more Flags )

[rakutenshi]

I dunno. I'm lazy.. so probably "Default"...

[Penguinhero]

Mine is Kerbaluminum industries

where we pride ourselves in building the best rockets around

Edit: it is now ember

Well back in the ol' days, when the terrain was different, and the roleplaying section was filled with people, I had a small archipelago called the Panichio Islands. But after one update where they changed the terrain a bit, the islands disappeared, but I still had my space station up in orbit. I thought it would be cool to think that the entire space program is being managed from outer space, while others launch our rockets or something, and so my space agency is named after the Panichio International Space Station - PISS, for short.

[viktorserecros]

C.O.F.F.I.N F.I.L.L.E.R.

I haven't decided what it should stand for. I've been having one of those bad design weeks, and well...

[ammonia_ocean]

Traverse Space Agency, a large and powerful multinational organization. Since it's widely regarded as the pinnacle of Kerbal intellectual and scientific development, its engineers and scientists are free to do whatever they want in the knowledge that it'll be automatically regarded as genius (c.f. its brilliant satellite docking... I mean, ASAT missile test). Its top priority is bringing Kerbals home safely. Its second priority is launching things that look cool. Preventing property damage and recovering launch vehicles... ehh, that's somewhere down the list.

I started off naming most of the spaceships after Greco-Roman stuff. Then I started running out of stuff, so I named things I landed on the mün after marine life. Now I just call stuff what it's supposed to do, with a few exceptions.

[jdmgto]

The Imperial Kerbin Spaceforce or IKS

No relation to Klingons.

[tygoo7]

Potato Astronautics...

[Panichio]

Potato Astronautics...

Today I learned potatoes actually make cool satellites.

[Albert II]

No agency here. Just a private company that bids for contracts from the Kerbin Govt.

[rryy]

Because I went with this:

, I decided to name my space program after the DPRK's, the Kerean Committee of Space Technology

[M5000]

"M5000 playing the game"

Or, if I'm feeling particularly giddy, Nexus Intelligent Systems, Incorporated, or NISI.

We have the following divisions relevant to KSP:

Aerospace Division: We play with planes and high-atmosphere stuff.

Orbital Mechanics Division: We're pretty much stuck in vacuum. Never really deal with planetary stuff.

Rocketry Division: We make things go up and not come back down.

Testing, Research, and Development Division: We don't have to actually build anything, we just play with the stuff that the other divisions give us.

Mission Control and Project Management Division: The stuff that's actually on TV and that people care about.

Roving and Exploration Division: We make wheels do wheel things, and look deep into space.

Mining and Profiteering Division: We learn how to make money from space.

Entry, Descent, and Landing Division: We keep things alive when they inevitably come back down. Don't listen to the Rocketry guys.

Environmental Protection, Health, and Safety Division: We're horribly underfunded. It is said that the entire staff consists of a single sentient but static hardhat.

[Fleb]

Most of my rockets end in disaster so I went with this.

[nyrath]

because of our flagship product

[PaleoGamer]

Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems. Where the future begins tomorrow.

We're a growing, excited company. Mind if we call you John?

[RockyTV]

BKSA - Brazilian Kerbonautic Space Agency.

We are a brand new company, but in the future we will be sharing our Interplanetary Rockets to the public.

[Wayfare]

The Improbably Dangerous Experiments Agency - IDEA.

"Hold my beer and watch this."

[rodion_herrera]

I was toying around with, "Rev. Jebediah's Happy Sky Lofting Club" with the motto "Sending You to the Heavens in Asparagolic Splendor!"

-RODION

[Jaedinator]

JKSP-Jaedinator Kerbal Space Program (not very creative i know xD)

[Silverware]

Teknova Communications

We build satellites for Remote Tech, although I do not currently have a flag. Need to make one.

[AlternNocturn]

Nexus Orbital Technologies and Aerospace (N.O.T.A). I haven't actually done anything with it, but I imagine the flag would be the Android Nexus "X" logo. I had "OTSA" (Orpheus Technologies and Space Administration) but it was only for a short story I wrote.

[AustralianFries]

(See signature.)

[Lazro]

Lazro's Scrap Metal Factory and Fireworks, Co.

[Pipcard]

Kerpton = Crypton (Future Media), who made a computer program that happens to be my favorite singer.

Aero-Space Development Agency = based on the Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency and the NAtional Space Development Agency of Japan (which existed before JAXA)
