Mission One dropped basic tools and supplies on the surface of Mars. Managed from Earth by ISA stakeholders, “citizen-scientists” prepared for the first humans to come to Mars. Over 50,000 NFT supply crates were purchased by collectors within the first 24 hours resulting in over $1.3 million in sales.
ISA astronauts, the First Four, joined titans such as Yuri Gagarin and Neil Armstrong in the pantheon of space exploration. Over $300,000 NFTs were airdropped to the supporters of Mission One as a thank you for believing in the project. Thousands of additional NFT supply crates were purchased by new players.

Over 250 million MARTIA tokens were staked upon launch.
Launched Interplanetary Space Alliance, the collective behind the humans-to-Mars missions.
