A Virtual Space Agency (VSA for short) is an agency set up to fly missions in Orbiter.

Classification of VSAs

Recruitment

Closed VSAs are not accepting new members by any application mechanism. They can be just a single person VSA, but this must not be the case.

Open VSAs are accepting new members

Activity states

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.
