The Madrinpoor Space Exploration Commission, MSEC, has been granted a budget of 110 billion liberos to commence construction of modules for the space station. They have also begun training astronauts Luis Devarre and Artuo Regine for the first ever mission to the Space Station. As of now, construction has begun on the central command module of the space station, including the cupola, and the scientific research lab. Other nations are encouraged to begin construction on other parts of the space station as well.

Parts/Modules Needed For Construction:

Solar Panels for Power
Docking Bay
Escape Pods (Not very large or difficult)
Defense Coordination Center (I would recommend Potenzia do this since we talked about it, but if he does not want to or he delegates it that is fine, it is his choice)
Sleeping/Living Quarters
Observation Bay (Could be added to the main command center I a building)

Optional Modules (Not necessarily needed for launch but nice to have)

Robot arm (for repairs likely, as well as cargo transfer)
Scientific Research Bay #2 (If the station becomes larger, then we will need this and)
Sleeping quarters #2
Possible Weapons Batteries (Don't focus on this yet because we don't know if we will end up installing it)
Satellites for communication with earth (Extra ones, essentially a GPS satellite but on the space station
Spacewalk tethers
Planetary exploration module (For missions to Mars or the moon, can detach from the space station and head towards the planet, then launching rovers while in orbit. After, they can rejoin the space station again. This would have to be built in the far future, after the space station is already in operation)

That is all I can think of, if there is something I am missing then please let me know.

As a nation with a strong economy, committed to scientific advancement, the Government of The Liberal Democracy of Ainland have agreed to commit a very generous 0.5% of GDP annually (approximately 2.3% of government expenditure) to the LDU International Outer Space Programme.

This represents an annual contribution of approximately 7.8 trillion liberos.

In addition, the Ainish Government commit to an additional one-off payment of 6 trillion liberos, to assist in initial costs, and this will be made with the first annual payment promptly.

Both of the above measures have been ratified by the Ainish Parliament.

The Potenzian government has approved 4.14 trillion (3% of our government expenditure) to help fund the initial costs of the space station.

Filipinn is now almost done in the process of refitting our current rocket, the Pioneer 2, for carrying large cargo and modules for the space station.

As we may end up bringing a lot of modules to space, I have decided to build 5 identical Pioneer 3s, the new rocket for the job.

From the Office of President Erna Duterte:
Noted. We will donate 5 billion Phills to the international space agency. Hopefully with this much money we will start developing our first joint-project rocket.

I would want to join as well by creating a rocket that will carry the modules. I will be developing a reusable rocket to do this to save money.

8/4/21: Filipinn has finished building 12 Pioneer 2 reusable rockets and 2 of which are about to launch the FEM (Filipinn Experimentation Module)
and Columbus.

YES a guy that will see my module parts of the ISS,
ISS: Unity(kitchen), Tranquility(bathroom and treadmill), Quest(airlock). We are also want to you guys to send cargo.
The Space Shuttle mission STS-1, is on plan

I'm willing to donate workers and scientist and donating 500million electric credits. I hope we can cooperate. - National Power Corporation
