ICIS Background

The Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS) is a 501-C-3 tax-exempt, non-profit foundation whose mission is to educate about efforts to transform the space-based weapons R&D program and war industry into a world cooperative civil, commercial and military space R&D and exploration program and industry (and other industries) without the mandate to weaponize space.

ICIS educates about the U.S. Space Preservation Act and the companion World Space Preservation Treaty. These documents can and will put a literal lid on the war industry while simultaneously allowing the civil, commercial, entrepreneurial and military space R&D and exploration programs to continue once the verifiable ban on space-based weapons has been passed into world and national U.S. law.

People around the world are calling for an World Space Preservation Treaty Conference that will bring world leaders together to ban space-based weapons. As the mandate to "seize the high ground" and weaponize space is removed, consciousness will awaken and shift in a way that will impact all issues.

We, the human species, can and must now move out of the obsolete earthbound paradigm and into a new space age paradigm, a new way of thinking and acting, where war will be no more, where this bill and treaty will turn former war related R&D programs and contracts into R&D that will produce clean and safe technology, products and services, with new jobs and training programs that will be directly applied to solving urgent problems of humans and other animals and our environment, alternative energy, sustainable development and our environment.

Security in the space age will be based on using technology (satellites, computers, etc.), not as force multipliers in war situations but for enhancing worldwide communication and information sharing about critical issues, thus applying space age technology in ways that will bring the world, including adversaries, together, to make war archaic and peace prevail on earth as it is preserved in space so that everyone can reap the benefits that will be made available to all. ICIS is successor to the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space (ISCOS), founded by Carol Rosin in early 1983.
