'''Kashini Extraterrestrial Kompany (KEK)''' is the Ceironian National Industrial Conglomerate's aerospace manufacturing, ballistic missiles, orbital communications, space transportation and development company, headquartered in Reino, Kashini. Founded in 2454 by Douglas Nimroy as a means to expand North Kashini Arm's influence and public reputation by not only focusing on weaponised rocketry, it has grown to be the most extensive and achieving space related company on Oikia as of 2499. With the primary goals of expanding Ceironian intrasolar influence and near-guarantee of harnessing the many billions of tons of resources found on other planets, moons and asteroids. Current accomplishments include performing a lunar landing on February 2 of 2484, constructing two Douglas type rotating circle stations, one possessing the capability to house over fifty astronauts, and a continued lunar effort with a colony allowing for a capacity also roughly fifty strong. Economic exploitation of lunar's natural resources is also taking place with industrial facilities having been constructed. KEK has generally lead the scientific development of all space related technologies, equalled only by the International City's IAP, which is almost entirely funded by the High Alaxian Kingdoms. The KEK is the world's first and foremost privatised space program, however during its history, at certain times it was either fully private or borderline nationalised, such as during the 2460s and early 70s due to numerous embezzlement scandals and the ousting of Douglas Nimroy by the Conglomerate Financial Board. As of 2499, the KEK is in a formalised partnership with the Ceironian Union government and acts as the sole contractor for the Interstellar Corps, Ceironia's space military branch, whose Chief in-Command is Obadiah Stane, the current CEP of the CNIC.
Notable missiles and rockets developed by NKA and KEK include the Dawnbreaker and Starbreaker missiles developed during the 2440s-50s, the Coneman rockets which sent the first Ceironians and animals into space prior to the 2470s. The current establishment of rockets include the Starscreechers, in-use by the KEK and Interstellar Corps since the 2470s, they have provided Ceironia with efficient payloads and steadily advancing and more capable launch systems, the the second generation of Starscreechers are also in full use and have been provided significant improvements in terms of fuel usage, and safer methods of recycling the boosters, thus lowering costs. The company is not without issues however, as many left-wing activists across Ceironia are often dumbfounded at the existence of the KEK, due to its position as a private company, yet receives almost all of its funding from the pockets of the annual budget and thus the tax payers. However, due to Ceironia's relatively extensive welfare program, extremely insignificant tax-rate, and stable budget, the $100B space budget is saved from scrutiny from most mainstream media or government representatives.
Historically, the programs of the KEK Project Soaring Eagle, which included testing the conditions of the Oikian body in zero gravity for extensive periods of time, including the psychological affects, this was also done on animal subjects including large rodents and chimpanzees. However, the primary purpose of Soaring Eagle was to accomplish a lunar landing. Although Soaring Eagle was officially started in September of 2460, the grounds for it had been worked on from 2456 onwards, with a man being launched into space in 2459. The set goal was a fully attempted landing in 2464, which would have beaten the International City's efforts by several months, it was extremely possible with the CNIC's extensive budget of $45B. Unfortunately internal constraints between bickering Financial Board committees from 2460-63 would lead to the KEK's program grinding to an utter halt. The result would be a 5:1 vote in favour of blocking Douglas Nimroy from any decision making processes within all Conglomerate companies, effectively rendering the position of Chief Executive President worthless. During the 2470s after Nimroy seized control over the company once more after backing from the Tarasovite government, some would say it was a personal favour from Georgiy Tarasov to Nimroy. As a result the program was rekindled in 2475 and the program was essentially factory reset, by 2480 several chimps and Humans were sent into orbit once more, and on February 2 of 2484 the moon landing would be accomplished with astronauts Danny Suns, Brandy Philips, Hank Howards, Daniel Vegas and Rupert Kirk (who would remain in the command module). During the late 2470s the draw plans for another program would begin, Project Duality, which primarily served as a space colonisation mission and mass improvement of safety standards and rocket efficiency. Starscreechers, Douglas spin stations, lunar colonies, Adelfi orbital satellites and other important creations would be developed by this program. The two primary concoctions from this program as of 2499 have been the CNV McConaughey, which went through well over a decade and a-half of development, a fifty man 65m diameter two-wheeled spin station, powered by a nuclear reactor and containing multiple scientific and civilian facilities. The other creation has been the equally significant Ceironian Lunar Facility, also fission reliant, it allows for a similar number inhabitants as the spin station, and contains industrial facilities, which are planned to be expanded to allow for non-CNIC companies to exploit the lunar surface, similar to the IC's moon colony.
Future projects include the Starscreechers IIb project, wherein the entire rocket is able to vertically touchdown via powered landings, which is predicted to be a far better alternative to the questionable gliding, parachute and helicopter acquisition systems currently in place. The Enterprise Program, which has the goal of producing all-purpose intrasolar SSTO space shuttles equipped with an encircling spin station, destined to reach the orbits of Adelfi, the asteroid belt and other planets and moons with a crew of up to twelve astronauts. Starnet, an extensive satellite network which will provide internet to the masses, however this will most likely be shelved due to the cost being uneconomical at the current time period. Other ideas include the eventual acquisition of asteroids to be thrown into the orbit of Oikia or lunar, for mining, constructing starships such as the Enterprise on the lunar surface or in orbit entirely using resources garnered from space, aside from a few rare-Oikia-materials.
