This January 30 will be corrected the orbit of the International Space Station (ISS), to create the ballistic conditions of the launch and coupling with the space freighter station Progress MS-08, reported the Russian space entity Roscosmos. "In correspondence with the program of flight of the ISS on January 30, 2018 a correction of the orbit of the ISS is planned," the statement said.

According to the document, "to carry out this maneuver at 18.25 Moscow time (15.25 GMT), the engines of the Zvezda service module of the ISS will light up." It specifies that the thrusters will operate for 22.8 seconds. 
The Progress MC-08 space freighter will have to be put into orbit on the 11th of February. 
The Flight Control Center told Sputnik that the orbit will increase by 600 meters, after which the average height will be 404.8 kilometers.

The main concept of a human nation is based on two principles, place and people. Unlike other nations, Asgardia, the first ever space nation has a unique advantage where the place factor will be the space, ie, not on the planet, but the factor of government and people is the same as the rest of the earthly nations. As everyone knows, the relationship between the government and the people is based on mutual trust and respect and is subject to the rules of mutual rights and duties of the government and the people. In this sense, here are some of the duties related to the government and citizens:

Main Responsibilities and Duties of The government Towards its Citizens

Maintenance of law and order

Protection of lives and properties

Protection of human rights

Promote democracy and social justice

Maintenance of external relations

Universal education and healthcare

Provision of social welfare services

Promotion of economic development

To provide employment opportunities

Invest in talent

Most Important Duties Of A Citizens Towards Their Nation

(a) Allegiance:

Every citizen is expected to be loyal to the state. His or her loyalty should, in no case, be divided. The state expects unstinted allegiance from its citizens.

(b) Obedience:

All the citizens should willingly and habitually obey the laws of the state. A democratic government is a government of the people themselves. Laws reflect their own will. There should not be, therefore, any hesitation in the obedience of laws.

(c) Payment of Taxes:

The administration of a country involves a certain amount of expenditure. This expenditure cannot be met without raising certain taxes. Citizens in their own interest, should, therefore willingly and honestly make payment of their taxes.

(d) Public Spirit:

Every citizen should be public spirited. He should not seek his self-interest and should always be ready to contribute his mite to the welfare of society.

(e) Honest exercise of Franchise:

Vote is a sacred trust in the hands of the citizens. It should always be used judiciously. Suitable represen­tatives should be sent to the legislatures. A wrong use of vote may result in a bad government.

(J) Help to Public Officials in the maintenance of Law and Order :

It is the duty of every citizen to lend a hand of co-operation to public officials in the discharge of their duties. Every citizen should try to remove evils and crimes from society by rendering help to the officials concerned.

(g) Work:

Every able-bodied citizen should work and try to add something to the social fund. Idlers are a parasite on the society. Work brings in wealth and prosperity in the country.

(h) Toleration:

Every citizen is expected to be tolerant towards others.

(j) Resistance:

It is more or less a moral duty. It is the duty of a good citizen to resist injustice from any quarter. If the government is unjust, it may also be resisted.

The majority of the Asgardians asking in their first comment when we will go in space. Because a huge part of Asgardians apply for the citizenship of Asgardia to answer to the call of the space and this is the mean idea behind a space kingdom.

If you are like me you do not want a virtual kingdom but a real one.

This is why I bring the NEW HORIZON project. With this project, we will use affordable and existing technologies to build a real space kingdom of Asgardia.

All Asgardians want a permanent space habitat that they can call home.

The picture view of the NEW HORIZON as being done only with existing elements and some of them are already in orbit along with the ISS.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parce qu'une grande partie des Asgardiens demande la citoyenneté d'Asgardia pour répondre à l'appel que l'espace exerce sur eux. La majorité des Asgardiens dais leur premier commentaire demandent quand esse que nous irons dans l'espace, ce qui est l'idée principale derrière un royaume spatial.

Si vous êtes comme moi, vous ne voulez pas un royaume virtuel mais un vrai.

C'est pourquoi j'apporte le projet NEW HORIZON. Avec ce projet, nous utiliserons des techniques abordables et existant pour construire un véritable royaume spatial d'Asgardia.

Tous les Asgardiens désirent avoir un habitat spatial permanent qu'ils pourront appeler leur maison.

L'image de la NOUVELLE HORIZON est faite uniquement avec des éléments existants et certains d'entre eux sont déjà en orbite avec l'ISS.

I have had troubles reaching you, my potential voters, for whatever reason, but I have posted two referendum petitions today for the consideration of all Asgardian citizens.

As such, I hope to address the issues of time in elections, and the Asgardian cryptocurrency, SOLAR, both of which I have written blog posts about.


To recapitulate and briefly mention the topics of these petitions:

1.  The major issue that I see with our electoral process is TIME.  Specifically, candidates who applied first have had more time to collect votes.  As much as this may seem like a motivator to get people to submit their applications quickly, it is actually an unfair, default condition.  I, myself, did not even consider running for Parliament until it had already been open for a month, and then I suffered delays due to upload issues and a general computer failure.  As such, I have lost much critical time (two months worth), and my "competition" has benefited.

Frankly, this election seems to be less about ability, and more about a) how quickly a candidate signed up, and b) their ability to be seen via social media.  That makes it a popularity contest, rather than a fair and unbiased election.  This is something that we, as citizens, will have to address for future elections, but which will ultimately determine the outcome of our first parliamentary election, which may shape the course of Asgardia itself.  So, it is a crucial issue.

2.  The Asgardian cryptocurrency, aptly named SOLAR , should be reserved for Asgardian citizens.  It is inevitable that it will have to be made available on the open market, in order for its value to increase (and for it to be worth anything), but, in the interim, citizens of Asgardia should be the only ones able to mine and hold SOLAR currency, until we can agree on exactly how to handle our financial affairs.  Simple allowing anyone to mine and own SOLAR at this nexus in time creates a dismal future circumstance, one where citizens will be forced to purchase SOLAR at a premium from individuals and institutions who have, themselves, mined our currency.

This serves, in effect, to render our currency open to the corruption and whims of the open market, right from the start, thereby creating inequity, where Asgardia must serve as a prime example of a free and sovereign nation.  We must make all possible efforts to prevent the status quo from winding its way into our society, choking out the light like a nonnative weed, lacking control measures, and disrupting the natural order/ equilibrium of the system (I'm an accredited herbalist, so I truly mean this)... and conventional/ traditional financial agents/ institutions are themselves very much like weeds, or viruses.  They choke out the competition and exist solely to serve themselves.  We cannot allow this to happen to Asgardia.  We must stand guard and be prepared to cut out the vines before they choke us, financially.


Thus, there are two critical issues that must be addressed by the current governmental body, namely the default disadvantage of time in the election process, and the real and existing threat of financial organizations taking control of our national currency, before we do.

Thank you for your respective consideration of the matter, and please don't forget to vote.  I will be sharing this post when my petitions are finally made active.

Sincerely,
Sean Gratton

¿Os podéis imaginar cómo será la convivencia entre todos los asgardianos en el futuro? A mediados del siglo XX, Albert Einstein pronosticó que, en menos de cien años, la humanidad, para evitar el colapso y la extinción, debería subsistir fuera de la Tierra. Asgardia hará realidad esa posibilidad en varias décadas, pero tendremos que afrontar nuevos desafíos, como la delincuencia, el hacinamiento, la falta de entendimiento entre tantas lenguas, enfermedades como la depresión, el intercambio de virus... Contaremos con algunas herramientas, como son las que ofrece el mundo laboral, el conocimiento de idiomas, y la puesta a punto de programas de diversidad cultural, así como la investigación científica entre grupos multidisciplinares, o la creatividad artística, armas que unen a los pueblos. Será fundamental la enseñanza de idiomas y estudios sociológicos para prever los conflictos que vayan surgiendo por la  convivencia. Somos conscientes de las más de un centenar de nacionalidades que formamos esta gran familia de Asgardia, con orígenes muy diferentes, idiomas, creencias religiosas, y el hecho de compartir un mismo espacio, pondrá a prueba nuestra capacidad para conseguir una convivencia digna entre todos. Como antropólogo y educador social, me comprometo a trabajar en estos campos, y por ello, os pido humildemente el voto para el Parlamento en el distrito 4. Muchas gracias.

Can you imagine how the coexistence between all the Asgardians will be in the future? In the mid-twentieth century, Albert Einstein predicted that, in less than a hundred years, humanity, to avoid collapse and extinction, should subsist outside of Earth. Asgardia will realize that possibility in several decades, but we will have to face new challenges, such as crime, overcrowding, lack of understanding among so many languages, diseases such as depression, virus exchange ... We will have some tools, such as those offered by the world of work, knowledge of languages, and the development of programs of cultural diversity, as well as scientific research among multidisciplinary groups, or artistic creativity, weapons that unite people. The teaching of languages and sociological studies will be fundamental in order to foresee conflicts arising from coexistence. We are aware of the more than one hundred nationalities that make up this great family of Asgardia, with very different origins, languages, religious beliefs, and the fact of sharing the same space, will test our ability to achieve a dignified coexistence among all. As an anthropologist and social educator, I am committed to working in these fields, and therefore, I humbly ask you to vote for Parliament in District 4. Thank you very much
