[[List of active VSAs]]
−
Closed VSAs are not accepting new members by any application mechanism. They can be just a single person VSA, but this is not always the case.
 
  
−
Open VSAs are projects accepting new members. although some VSAs are permanently open, many often stage recruiting drives on the Orbiter Forums for new members.

[[List of defunct VSAs]]
  
−
Active VSAs are currently in the process of flying or planning missions. Since planning a complex mission can take a few many weeks, this is not inactivity. Active VSAs can also have a few months of inactivity because of the evil real life, without really being an inactive VSA in the sense of no activity being planned.
 
−
 
−
Inactive VSAs are VSAs that have no activity scheduled at all. They are simply dead, or just pausing for indefinite time. In the most extreme case, they are completely abandoned, having not even somebody answering the emails for them.
 
−
 
−
Abandoned VSA can also appear, when two VSAs join under a new name or the concept of an old VSA being buried and a completely new program with new character is started under a new name.

|Does not accept other members because the benevolent dictator of the VSA has no resources for managing them. Despite this it is one of the most active VSAs, as of November 2011.

|Conceived initially for construction of a moon base, then delved into other projects based on coolness factor over practicality.  This is primarily possible due to the deep pockets and networking ability of the VSA leadership.  Currently headquartered at CSCC, with satellite offices at Wideawake, SRC Polygon, Canaveral and Matagorda Island.
