USK Moves Toward Becoming the First Micronation with an Astronaut
The United States of Kerban (USK) is entering a historic phase as it pursues representation in human spaceflight through an astronaut candidacy within the Space Exploration & Research Agency. This step reflects the nation’s long-standing focus on innovation, technology, and its ambition to take part in humanity’s expansion beyond Earth. From its foundation, the USK has embraced space exploration as a core vision.

Beyond individual success, this effort positions the USK on an international stage, highlighting its commitment to progress and global cooperation.
