ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SPACE CONSUMERS

The International Association of Space Consumers (IASC) exists to ensure that consumer interests are represented where space policy, technical standards, and operational governance are shaped. Space is no longer experimental—it is infrastructure. Communications, navigation, weather systems, financial networks, scientific research, and emergency response all depend on reliable space-based systems. When those systems degrade, consumers and researchers absorb the consequences. IASC operates to ensure safety, continuity, transparency, and long-term sustainability are designed into the system—not addressed after failure.

IASC is non-partisan, non-activist, and systems-focused. We do not campaign for or against individual firms. We engage upstream—where advisory bodies form norms, agencies authorize infrastructure, and policymakers structure oversight. Our approach is analytical, technically literate, and institutionally credible. We speak the language regulators, legislators, scientists, and operators already use—because effective consumer protection in space begins with competence, not slogans.
