Today, astronauts are identified by mission badges, flags, and digital databases tied to Earth. Tomorrow, with permanent bases on the Moon and Mars, we need a universal, instantly readable, Earth‑independent way to identify origin, experience, and routes – for both people and machines.
IPIS replaces cumbersome Earth‑bound bureaucratic procedures with a single visual‑electronic language understandable anywhere in space, without a network connection.
The core of the system is a symbolic‑geometric notation and a digital code that follows the plan of space expansion.
Life: human, base, crewed spacecraft
Robot, drone, uncrewed vehicle
01 — Earth, 02 — Moon, 03 — Mars, 04, 05… — new worlds
' — orbit, E — EVA (risk), 00 — deep space
A symbolic sequence of status changes during travel. On a person – a row of touching discs under the main patch. The first disc is the birthplace, then long‑term work locations, and after worlds with spacewalks – an E disc.
Route diagram – a straight line on the hull from the start node to the end node (e.g., 01—03). Intermediate manoeuvres are digital only. Simple and clear, like a subway map.
Choose your destination — get your unique identifier string.
IPIS isn't just a protocol – it's a living universe. Read stories about ordinary people who wear the patches, eat Martian fish, and discover new worlds.
📚 Read "The Expansion Cycle" (Rus)Passive chips embedded in the patch. Bring your sleeve to a reader at an airlock – the door opens, the system logs the time and place. No passwords, no biometrics.
Satellites and spacecraft get a human‑readable label. A dispatcher sees not just 25544, but `circle 01'` (crewed station in Earth orbit).
All records of base changes, EVAs, etc., are signed by commanders in onboard logbooks. Periodic synchronisation with a central registry is possible.
IPIS is released under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license. You can use, adapt, and pilot it – freely. The repository contains full specifications, design assets, guides, and a quick start.
IPIS is more than a protocol – it's a growing community of dreamers, engineers, and storytellers. Discuss, create, and help shape the future of interplanetary identity.
