What We Do

Exploration is one of the primary reasons for the ISDC's existence, and the Science Branch provides the expertise necessary to analyse and document deep-space discoveries. The Science Branch encompasses a number of scientific disciplines necessary for the exploration of deep space including astrophysics, astronomy and planetary sciences such as geology, exobiology and climatology for the exploration of new planets.

The Science Branch is responsible for using the vessel's array of sensor equipment to analyse stellar phenomenon and planetary discoveries remotely, as well as making direct observations and gathering samples from planets.
