Crichton in his IASA-issued flight suit, featuring an IASA patch
IASA is the International Aeronautics and Space Administration on Farscape.
John Crichton is an IASA astronaut, and the organization funds his Farscape Project. In the series premiere, IASA launches the Farscape 1 module from Cape Canaveral, Florida. They also have facilities in Australia, per "A Human Reaction."
In "Terra Firma," John's father Jack Crichton becomes IASA's Project Director for Extraterrestrial Studies. Other personnel include D.K. and Laura Kopecki.
Notes[]
- IASA is modeled after the real-world organization NASA. John Crichton was originally written to be a NASA astronaut, but because NASA requested script approval for using their logos, the fictional IASA was created instead.[1]
