Foundation Membership

As a new concept, immersive sci-fi needs early adopters to contribute to its development – people who recognise its potential and want to contribute to achieving Endeavour’s launch.

This core group of enthusiasts and visionaries are recognised as Foundation Members.

By participating in test flights on prototype systems and contributing to the design of future systems, Foundation Members will ensure the concept remains realistic and compelling but still accessible.

Important contributions can also be made to the development and refinement of training and mission scenarios.

Foundation Members will also go on to act as instructors for new crew members and run mission scenarios from Mission Operations.

Compensation

In recognition of their contribution Foundation Members will be paid for a minimum of four hours per fortnight while they undertake test and evaluation missions. When those hours are will be decided in collaboration with your fellow members.

Any additional hours providing support as an instructor or in Mission Operations will be paid on top of this minimum.

Foundation Members will have access to as much free simulator time as they need (subject to availability).

Foundation Membership is also formally acknowledged with the Foundation Member Ribbon (awarded after three months service), which permanently identifies the holder as part of the ISDC’s founding elite.

Available Roles

Foundation Members will ultimately need to be familiar with all major vessel systems, but we all need to start somewhere.

We’re looking for team members to start their training in one of the following roles:

Navigation Officer

Tactical Officer

Engineering Officer

Astrophysics Officer

Ideally we're looking for a Foundation Member crew team with the range of skills necessary to fly simulator missions.

How To Join as a Foundation Member

Foundation Membership is by invitation, but if you see the potential of the concept and you'd like to contribute, we’d like to hear from you.

We’d recommend you sign up as a member (it’s free) and then get in touch to indicate your interest via the contact form or our socials.
