Space Infrastructure Foundation Inc

To further space capabilities for the betterment of humanity
​and the planetary global environment.


Vision

The Space Infrastructure Foundation (SIF) is committed to building the standards foundation that makes a spacefaring civilization possible. 

We lead by convening — bringing together governments, industry, and international partners to advance the open, voluntary consensus standards that enable a free and sustainable space economy. We act with urgency, because the window to build this foundation well is open now. And we act with purpose, because without it, humanity’s future in space is fragmented, inequitable, and ultimately diminished. 

Our destination is Spacefaring Nations — a world in which humanity explores, inhabits, and develops space freely, safely, and sustainably. Standards are how we get there. 

SIF Vision 2026

Mission

We believe an open standards basis is essential to the success of any enterprise. Therefore, to achieve the vision we share with many, the Space Infrastructure Foundation (SIF) is committed to the development and use of an open technical standards basis for space.​

We Will Do This By

Supporting the standards development process up to and including the international level.
Education of professional and the public. We will advance education on space technical standards. We will develop and present courses of instruction through professional training courses, correspondence, and electronic media. We will conduct and support public discussion groups, forums, panels, and lectures.
​
In Charity apply space infrastructure, as based on openly developed and published technical standards to provide relief or help to those in need; enhance the infrastructure to strengthen local, regional, and global community services, and; through our work in technical standards development reduce the need for governmental technical support to the infrastructure.
