In the center is the “divine” flower of life, the symbol of Asgardia. Encircling it is the motto of Asgardia: One Humanity – One Unity. The motto is surrounded by 12 petals that are equal in size and evenly distributed, signifying the equality of all the official languages of Asgardia. The coat of arms has a crown on top as a symbol of constitutional monarchy.

The flag of Asgardia symbolises a place of the First Space Nation in our solar system

The bright yellow circle in the center is the Sun, positioned against the back-ground of the blue sky. Nine yellow orbits symbolise the nine planets of our solar system, which represent the comprehensiveness of humanity’s knowledge about space as of this moment. The three white external orbits symbolizes the infinity of humanity’s new discoveries in space that are yet to be made, and the role of Asgardia in creating such a future.

PHILOSOPHY

Asgardia’s philosophy began with selecting the nation’s name – Asgardia. In an-cient mythology, Asgard was a country in the skies, the country of gods, the coun-try of dreams.

The main mission of Asgardia is the birth of the first human in space on the cosmic “Noah’s ark”

Asgardia’s philosophical goal is to ‘digitalise’ the Noosphere, the mirror image of humanity in space, but without the Earthly division into states, religions and nations.

Asgardia is a nation of free-thinking people6

LEGAL

The geopolitical conflicts on Earth, deep-rooted in the history of Earthly nations, stand in the way of creating a new, fair legal reality in space.

The main legal goal is the creation of an independent state recognised by other countries on planet Earth

New space law should not become the law of the jungle. Space exploration will be equally available to all earthly nations and to all people.

A core legal principle is that Asgardia does not interfere in relations between states on Earth – and vice versa.

Asgardia proposes ‘astropolitics’ instead of ‘geopolitics’ 7

SCIENCE

For the completion of the main mission of Asgardia – the birth of the first human in space – three scientific and technological challenges must be solved:

Artificial gravity Protection from space radiation Creation of a cosmic “Noah’s ark”

Peace, Access and Protection – are the three ideological principles for the scientific research in Asgardia:

PEACE – to ensure the peaceful use of space.

ACCESS – to create a demilitarised and free scientific base of knowledge in space for everyone.

PROTECTION – to protect planet Earth from natural and man-made space threats.

Asgardia opens up space for everyone8

OUR MAP ON EARTH

A unique map of Asgardia shows the location of Asgardians on planet Earth. The map shows Earthly cities with the number of Asgardians residing in each of them. The map is becoming an effective tool for the global communication among Asgardians.

Asgardia is where asgardians are. We are a Space Nation, but we reside on Earth. Asgardia don’t see Earthly boundaries and don’t create boundaries in space

TERRITORY IN SPACE

On 12 November 2017, the Asgardia-1 satellite was successfully launched from the Wallops flight facility (Virginia, USA). Thus, Asgardia officially became the first nation with territory in space.

Asgardia is a global space nation 9
