The mission of the ISS is to develop space (unclaimed by alliances) and make it accessible to a greater part of Eve's population.
In March 2006, ISS was approached by a number of factions about managing the
outpost in EC-P8R as a public outpost along the lines of the existing ISS stations.
Considering the vision and goals stated in the ISS Charter, we accepted. The
outpost is already in operation The outpost is being managed by ISS according
to ISS etablished principles.
The location of the outpost is unusual by ISS standards. It is located right next to Torrinos, which is a solar system with a 0,5 security rating. This means that the outpost competes directly with Torrinos for office space and market taxes. Normally it would be an unfair match, since the outpost is located in unsecure 0,0 space.
But in order to fully leverage the particular location of this outpost to generate revenue for the shareholders we have devised a new income stream for the ISS Cassini Outpost corporation - we call it the Rent a Moon concept.
The EC-P8R system have some 65 moons. Considering the proximity of empire space, these moons are prime real estate around which corporations can construct starbases without paying Charters to the empires, and still be as close as possible to the safety of Concord policed empire space. Ideal for Reacting Moon Raws, POS based research and Manufacturing
In keeping with ISS vision of opening up 0.0 space for small and medium corporations, we offer these moons in rent to interested corporations. They are free to do with them what they want: build laboratories, run reactions, assembly arrays etc etc.

The outpost will be built and controlled by a separate corporation controlled
by ISS, called 'ISS Cassini'. Shares in ISS Cassini are offered for sale to
all pilots in Eve. Share price is 10m ISK per share, minimum 10 share buy, total
3400 shares.
ISS Cassini outpost is currently operational.
Buying Shares
Share will be sold in a single phase.
Phase 1: Wed 7 June (1200) to Wed 14 June (2000) - All pilots and corporations
