同时公布 “国家” 名为 Asgardia，该词源于挪威神话中阿萨神族的地界，所有尊奉奥丁为主神的神明都住在这里，是“神的领域”。

在 Asgardia 的官网上写道：“谁能成为 Asgardia 的市民？”“居住在地球上的任何人。”

想要成为 Asgardia 的市民，只需前往官网进行注册，在资料通过后，就能拿到 Asgardia 的护照。该 “国家” 初步只接受 10 万人注册，而根据 BBC 当地时间 10 月 13 日的报道，已经有超过 5 万人报名成为 Asgardia 的市民。

负责人 Igor Ashurbeyli 不仅成立了 AIRC 并出版了著名的太空杂志《Room》，还是联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）空间科学委员会的新主席。这一项目团队的成员还包括了全球知名的科学家、工程师、企业家和法律专家。

我们都是地球人！

在新闻发布会上，Igor Ashurbeyli 博士阐述了 Asgardia 的理念：

1.在古老的北欧神话中，Asgardia 是一个在天空的城市，神的国家。这将会实现人类永恒的梦想并扩展到宇宙。

Asgardia 会是一个完全成熟的独立国家，是联合国的未来成员，也具有一个独立国家的所有特征：政府和大使馆，国旗，国歌和徽章等。它的本质是和平，防止地球冲突转移到太空。也是为全体人类服务，不论他或她的出身或国籍如何。

在 Asgardia 没有地球上的国家、宗教划分，我们都是地球人！

2.如今，在地球上的两百多个国家中只有约 20 个有太空活动，而像是计划在太空采矿，宣称独占和垄断这些行为，我们是不允许的。新的太空法必须保护地球上每个人的利益。我们的核心法律原则是：不干涉地球上国家之间的关系，反之亦然。

Asgardia 还将为包括探索近地和太空深层创建新的法律， “普遍空间法”（Universal space law）和天文影响（astropolitics）必须取代国际空间法和地缘政治。

3.Asgardia 的目地有三个，一是确保和平利用太空空间；二是保护地球避免太阳风暴和耀斑、小行星、人造轨道碎片等一系列的太空威胁；三是在太空建立一个非军事化的免费科学知识基地。这将使所有人，特别是那些现在没有能力的发展中国家免费使用。

虽然在发布会上 Igor Ashurbeyli 博士谈到了这一 “太空国家” 的愿景和内涵，但却没有谈及任何和技术有关的方面。

被认可的机会非常渺茫

目前，Asgardia 在网上征集国旗、国徽和国歌。他们还打算在明年秋天发射第一颗卫星，并希望有一天能获得联合国的认可。而该项目现在由 Ashurbeyli 博士个人资助，但他们表示将发起众筹。

然而伦敦空间政策和法律研究所（London Institute of Space Policy and Law）负责人 Sa’id Mosteshar 博士对这一项目提出了质疑，他表示在国际法《外层空间条约》中规定：

外层空间，包括月球和其他天体，都不能依据国家主权要求，或者通过使用或占领，又或任何其他方法据为己有。

外层空间，包括月球和其他天体，都不能依据国家主权要求，或者通过使用或占领，又或任何其他方法据为己有。

同时，他还谈到这种众筹无疑表露了负责人毫无真实可信的商业计划。并且鉴于 Asgardia 还没有领土，其 “公民” 仍留在地球上，它被认可的机会非常渺茫。

“柏拉图的理想国”

现在，Asgardia 还处于一种理想化的地步，甚至于有点荒诞。首先，负责人连任何技术细节也没有谈及。以现有的技术，连建造一个永久性空间站都尚未成功，更别提容纳 10 万人的空间站。

其次，想要以众筹的方式建造一个如此巨大的 “太空国家” 简直是不可置信，虽然无法预测该空间站的具体成本，但是就目前来看，航天飞机每次发射就需要耗资约 5 亿美元，而每千克货物送上空间站也需要约 2.2 万美元，不说别的，单单是把人送上去都不可预估了。

这样看来，想要登上这个太空 “诺亚方舟”，估计等到 3000 年还有点可能。

Plans for first ever Space nation "Asgardia" announced today

Plans were announced today at a press conference in Paris to create the first new Space Nation to be called ‘Asgardia’.

"For my entire life I have always gone against the grain, that is why some people told me from time to time that I have crazy ideas.

The very first time I was labelled crazy was in 1988, when I was a successful young scientist at a state university. I read Gorbachev's decree that allowed private business in the USSR for the first time in its history, and started my “Socium” company. Back in my home town of Baku, Azerbaijan, everyone knew my very old family, who lost everything they had owned during the Stalin era. But I took my wife and small son to Moscow, where I didn't know a soul, in order to start a private computer technology business from scratch. Everyone told me I was crazy, that it's safer to work for the government and that no one would let a private company flourish in the USSR.

The second time was in 1994, I was already a successful businessman. Government enterprises, however, were in quite a disastrous state after the fall of the Soviet Union. Suddenly I accepted the offer of a government position at one of the oldest and most famous defence companies in Russia in the air and space industry. It was in a desperate state. And again, I was told I was crazy. My wife's parents were living in Israel by then, my own father in Paris. He is now 80 years old. Despite having relatives abroad, I got the highest level of security clearance and for ten years I was the CEO of “Almaz”, the world-renowned company that designed the C-300 and C-400 aerospace defence systems.

The third time occurred in 2011. I had transformed “Almaz” into a highly reputable state company with multiple domestic and foreign customers. During that time, private business in Russia was under severe pressure and the state sector received a lot of government support. But I took another crazy step and returned to my private business.

And now, in 2016, I have a profitable high-tech private holding company “Socium” that has been around for 28 years, with almost nine thousand employees in 30 companies in six towns around Russia.

And again, for the fourth time in my life, I am doing something extraordinary that could cost me dear and destroy my reputation as a conservative engineer and businessman.

Now, we have decided to create the first ever space nation – this is a global, unifying and humanitarian project.

So let's talk about that.

The project's concept comprises three parts – philosophical, legal and scientific/technological. And it's hard to say which of these is more important.

1. The project's philosophy starts at selecting the name for this new country – Asgardia. In ancient Norse mythology, Asgard was a city in the skies, the country of the Gods. It is the realisation of man's eternal dream to leave his cradle on Earth and expand into the Universe.

Asgardia is a fully-fledged and independent nation, and a future member of the United Nations - with all the attributes this status entails: a government and embassies, a flag, a national anthem and insignia, and so on.

The essence of Asgardia is Peace in Space, and the prevention of Earth’s conflicts being transferred into space.

Asgardia is also unique from a philosophical aspect – to serve entire humanity and each and everyone, regardless of his or her personal welfare and the prosperity of the country where they happened to be born.

Asgardia's philosophical envelope is to ‘digitalise’ the Noosphere, creating a mirror of humanity in space but without Earthly division into states, religions and nations. In Asgardia we are all just Earthlings!

2. Asgardia's legal aspects.

Today, many of the problems relating to space law are unresolved and may never be solved in the complex and contradictory dark woods of modern international law. Geopolitical squabbles have a great influence, and are often rooted in the old military history and unresolvable conflicts of countries on Earth. It is time to create a new judicial reality in space.

It is of crucial importance that space law does not become the law of the jungle. Today, only 20 countries on Earth out of about 200 have a space presence, and have, for example, plans to mine in space and lay claim to exclusivity and monopoly. We feel that this is not permissible. New space law has to equally protect the interests of every human being on Earth.

It means protecting individuals and countries (particularly developing nations) from space threats as well as delivering the benefits of using space for creating new goods and services, and financial resources.

The question of Asgardia citizenship is also essential. After Asgardia is recognised as a member of the UN, the question of reasons for granting citizenship will inevitably arise. One opinion is that the first Asgardians will be those who work in the fields of space research and exploration, and space technology, as well as investors in these fields, including small investors.

Of course, special preference will be given to the first hundred thousand people who apply prior to the launch of the first satellite - and all the typical citizenship procedures that are used on Earth will be followed. This does not mean Asgardian citizenship will not be available to all people on Earth, regardless of their earthly jurisdiction.

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

Asgardia's legal envelope includes the creation of a new legal platform for the exploration of near-Earth and deep space. ‘Universal space law’ and ‘astropolitics’ have to replace international space law and geopolitics.

3. The scientific and technological component of the project can be explained in just three words – peace, access and protection.

These are the three most important scientific and technological goals of Asgardia.

First, is to ensure the peaceful use of space.

The second is to protect planet Earth from space threats. There are seven threats in our classification system: sun storms and flares, known as coronal mass ejections; changes in Earth's magnetosphere that destroy the effective protective layer of our planet; potentially dangerous asteroids and comets; man-made orbital debris; changes in the climate stemming from technogenic factors and sun radiation; cosmic radiation from nuclear reactions in novae, supernovae and pulsars; and the danger of Earth infection by microorganisms from meteors and other small celestial bodies.

The third goal is to create a demilitarized and free scientific base of knowledge in space. This will provide free access to all, especially those from developing countries who do not have space access now. And such access should be free and direct.

We see Asgardia's technical structure in three segments:

• one or several core satellites

• clusters of network-centric small satellites

• protective space platform

one or several core satellites

clusters of network-centric small satellites

protective space platform

We are not going to talk about technical aspects and details today. It is not because we have nothing to say. It is because we want the widest participation in this open project – participation from all interested scientists and companies, without limiting them by our own vision of the technological side of things at the moment.

The scientific and technological envelope of Asgardia is a space arena for the scientific creativity of its citizens and companies in developing a broad range of future space technologies, products and services for humanity on Earth and humanity in Space.

Therefore, Asgardia is a sort of a matryoshka, made of philosophy, law and technology. Whatever else is hidden inside is something we will discover in the near future.

I would now like to say a few words on economics.

The thing is, we are not selling pieces of land on the Moon or water in Antarctica. We're actually not selling anything at all at the moment. Only after we have proven this idea with a confirmed launch of an equipped satellite may we begin talking about Asgardia's budgets.

Right now, work on the project is funded entirely from our personal private funds. It's a clear-cut decision. We have now declared our concept and philosophy publicly and would like as many people as possible on the planet to find out about it.

And of course we are going to make use of crowd funding and sourcing, and private donations. And we welcome cooperation with new partners and investors.

Asgardia’s technical, legal and philosophical team is in the process of being set up Is it pioneering, futuristic and visionary - or madness? Call it what you will, and time will tell.

To sum up, I would like to announce that in a few minutes Asgardia's website beta version will be launched – Asgardia.space. It will accept preliminary applications for Asgardian citizenship. After the first 100 thousand applications have been received applications will be closed until the first Asgardia satellite is launched. We await you – the first potential citizens and volunteers of the first space nation!

Thank you."

但是＆BUT

the last is the most important
