Esteemed Minister Kalan Canche,

The Ministry of Education and Science of the Kingdom of Rinava, as well as members of the Rinavan scientific community, wish to commend K’inich Itzamna IX and the National University of Itza Institute for Space Studies on the undertaking of such a project as is the founding of the Tapatepetli Observatory Complex. We are pleased by your commitment to fostering positive cooperation among the glubal scientific community and furthering humanity’s knowledge of the cosmos.

Astronomy has a long tradition in the Kingdom of Rinava dating back to the 16th century and the founding of the University of Kalava. The University’s Kelemen’s Astronomical Institute is very active in many fields of this science, such as solar and stellar physics, and the study of planetary systems and exoplanets.

In accordance with our shared commitment to the advancement of the fields of astronomy and astrophysics, the Kelemen’s Astronomical Institute in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science would like to contribute to the funding of the Tapatepetli Observatory Complex with up to 5% of the total budget (AD$ 95 000 000). Furthermore, the Institute would like to donate several back-end components including the optical-digital transmission system. The Kelemen’s Astronomical Institute would also like to propose further collaboration and student and researcher exchange programs with the Institute for Space Studies of the National University of Itza.

We hope that this agreement will be the beginning of a fruitful cooperation between our nations and scientific institutes.

Best regards,

From: the Holy Imperial Government of the Greater Holy Empire of the Aromans

 

Your excellency,

It is rare that the nations of Eurth make such a selfless call for cooperation, especially on an endeavour that can only bring us forward as a species. Often, international projects are more limited in scope to eurthly projects and they rarely look towards the stars. That his majesty, Itzamna IX, has the foresight and wisdom shows that his majesty has a high regard for learning. This is doubly proved by the fact that the knowledge gained from this venture will be provided free for all mankind. Other nations and peoples with much less learned goals might have been keen to keep any such knowledge gained for themselves, or at least made it available for a fee.

Aromania, as well as the civilisations in the Occident that preceded our holy nation, have a long history of the observation of the stars. Admittedly, in the past, this was often more linked with astrology than astronomy, but as euman knowledge has advanced, Aromania has always kept its place at the forefront. It is helped by the fact that the Greater Holy Empire has numerous wurld-renowned academic institutions within its borders. Many of these, such as the Patriarchal School – one of the wurld leaders in astronomy, mathematics and computer science – requested that the Holy Imperial Government approached the Kingdom of Itza when your excellency outlined the Tapatepetli Observatory Complex (TOC) and the aims of the project.

To help make this observatory a reality, to help bring the knowledge of the stars to all eumans, I have been requested by his Aroman Majesty, Kommodos III, Holy Emperor of the Aromans to offer the following:

  • A contribution of A$285,000,000 towards the construction of the TOC – 15% of the construction cost of the project.
  • A contribution towards the operating costs and upkeep of the project for as long it runs. This will be 20% of the annual costs of maintaining and operating the TOC, including staff salaries.
  • Any expertise that might be provided by the Holy Imperial Government or Aroman academic institutions during the construction of the TOC will be paid for by the Aroman government.

As well as the above, it is proposed that student exchange programmes might be set up between any universities within the Kingdom of Itza and those within Aromania. This will help the spread of knowledge and information across the wurld and may go some way towards lessening the divisions that exist between continents, nations and peoples.

The completion of the TOC will be a bold step towards the future of eumanity. The Aroman people will be proud that they have helped all peoples and nations towards this future, especially one that is so willingly shared.

Made God grant us success in this shared journey to improving our knowledge of His universe.

Manouel Aristarkhos,

Grand Minister

The Office of the Minister of Science and Technology

To the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kaan Itza:

The Konfederacija Poja has a deep commitment to science and exploration and has empowered the Ministry of Science and Technology (Ministarstvo Znanosti i Tehnologije; MZT) with expanding Poja's presence in glubal scientific initiatives, such as the Tapatepetli Observatory Complex.  We may be half a wurld apart but we share a bond in the exploration of space and hope one day to be instrumental in unlocking the deepest mysteries of our universe.  

Thus, it is within the purview of the MZT that we invest in the Tapatepetli Observatory Complex though our level of commitment is more limited than many other nations due in part to funding requirements for our own space exploration program and prior commitments.  As such, we wish to invest the sum of 2.5% or $47.5 million in the construction of the project as well as an annual contribution to be determined at a later time when the facility is operational.

The  Konfederacija Poja is deeply proud to be an investor in this project and hopes that it will open the doors to the origins of our universe and so much more. 

Sincerely,
Honorable, Hafiza Brkic, Ph.D, the Minister of Science and Technology of the Konfederacija Poja, on behalf of the people of the Konfederacija Poja
