Briefly about IGMASS Project:
For last three years a team of Russian designers headed by prof. Perminov, is promoting concept of the “International Global Monitoring Aerospace System (IGMASS)”. The IGMASS Project is an initiative to create the “System of Systems”, which has to integrate recourses both existing and coming national and international space remote sensing, communication and relay, weather and navigation systems (or allocated data and organizational resources), as well as appropriate air-born and ground-based facilities, including specialized infrastructure for global forecasting and early warning about natural and man-made disasters Earth and space origin.

IGMASS generalized structure includes ground based monitoring tools, national air-born and international specialized orbital segments. Engaged resources of profile projects and programs, as well as involving space facilities would give appropriate opportunities to the Project participants via “Global ground subsystem”, providing prognostic monitoring information to the customers all over the world.

Since 2009 the IGMASS ideas were presented at number of profile interstate scientific forums all over the world except of South America. The Project was approved by the participants of three profile political summits.

One of the main results of the IGMASS Project promoting all over the world is establishing in July, 2010 its own governing body - “International Committee on the IGMASS Project Implementation” (ICPI), headed by prof.Perminov. Mainstream purpose of such step was drawing public attention to the Project at national, regional and international levels, consolidation of profile scientists and experts as well as enterprises for the IGMASS concept realization, searching contemporary ideas, technical solutions, administrative and financial recourses for the system creation and development.

Although the IGMASS proposal has existed for a few years, this pilot version also came in the context of Russia’s Strategic Defense of Earth (SDE) offered in fall 2011, a proposal for collaboration between the United States and Russia on both missile defense systems and defending the Earth from the threats posed by future asteroid and comet impacts. Seeing this particular SDE proposal as an upgraded re-offer of his original 1983 program which became the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), Lyndon La Rouche and his associates have very publicly and forcefully supported it, most recently in the 68-page La Rouche PAC report “The Strategic Defense of Earth”.

The IGMASS Project provides unique opportunity to unify efforts of the world community to develop new joint strategy of peaceful space exploration, which is focused on providing secure and sustainable development of humanity.
