World Space Mile Card is a single lifetime identity, rewards, and access network for everyone building the global space industry — students, astronauts, researchers, founders, agencies, and institutions, unified under one sixteen-digit number.
Every card is minted once — a single sixteen-digit number bound permanently to one person. Tier reflects your standing in the network, not a subscription; you're upgraded, never replaced.
For students and newcomers. Free lifetime issue, entry to public events, and the base Space Miles rate.

Your card number is the visible edge of something bigger: a single World Space ID that authenticates you everywhere. Register once — from Academy to the Summit stage, "Continue with World Space ID" is the only sign-up you'll ever need.
Space Miles accrue automatically wherever your card is scanned, linked, or verified — then convert into access, recognition, and eventually spending power across the network.
Badge scans at partner events log attendance and unlock session-level rewards.
Completed coursework through World Space Academy mints verified credential miles.
Published papers, mission data work, and lab hours logged through partner institutions.
Verified introductions and collaborations between members strengthen the whole graph.
Pitch placements and accelerator milestones convert directly into Galaxy-tier progress.

Membership comes first. As banking partnerships mature, the same World Space ID extends into a full wallet — link a real bank, get a virtual card, and pay for every conference, course, and collaboration from one balance.
Space Miles accrue at conferences, summits, and academic programs on every continent — each one connected through the same verification network.
Trusted by organizations across the space industry
Each stage builds on verified identity — the card gets more capable; the number never changes.
Any conference, university, or agency can request a branded dashboard on the World Space ID API — collect payments, check members in, and issue Space Miles under your own name. Outside apps can integrate too: "Continue with World Space ID" is available to any developer, with granular, user-approved data sharing.
Customize registration pages, badge scanning, and reward rates for your own event — while every attendee still uses their one lifetime card number.
As financial integrations roll out, conferences will be able to collect registration fees and sponsorship payments directly against member card numbers.
Any website — not just World Space products — can offer "Continue with World Space ID." Data shared is scoped and user-approved; most integrations only ever see a verified claim, not raw profile data.
No. Today it's a membership, identity, and rewards network. Payment and banking features are on the roadmap and will launch through licensed financial partners — see the Fintech Roadmap section for what's live versus planned.
Nothing — your sixteen-digit number is issued once and never changes. Tier upgrades change your multiplier and benefits, not your identity.
Partner organizers get a branded dashboard on the same API used across the network — badge check-in, custom reward rates, and (as financial integrations roll out) payment collection under their own name.
Yes — 500 Founder numbers will ever be minted. Once issued, a number is retired from that edition permanently.
Nothing. Explorer is issued free for life to students and newcomers; every edition above it is either an annual issue, by invitation, or by nomination.
Join the early registry and be among the first issued a permanent World Space Mile Card number.
