Interplanetary Space Command
Interplanetary Space Command was an organisation which existed in the 29th century. They operated at least two space station beacons in orbit around Jupiter, whose job it was to direct space traffic traveling from Earth to Pluto. Their chain of command ended with a higher authority/headquarters known as Earth Centre. (DW: Revenge of the Cybermen)
History
Sometime in the 29th century, the Nerva Beacon, assigned to a 30-year mission orbiting the planetoid Voga, was apparently struck by a plague that wiped out nearly all of the 50-strong ISC crew. Only 3 survived (and 1 observer), and it was soon discovered that the plague was in reality an infection spread by an invading Cyberman force. (DW: Revenge of the Cybermen)

Technology
Space Stations
The ISC operated at least two space facilities:
It is possible that the Ganymede Beacon is not, in fact, a space station, but some other type of base or facility.
Weaponary
ISC officers had access to bullet-based ballistic sub-machine guns. The exact capabilities of these weapons are unclear, although they are not powerful enough to penetrate Cyberman armour.
Uniforms
ISC personnel wear brown shirts, trousers, boots, tie and a jacket. The ISC insignia is displayed on the right breast. A tab displaying the officer's rank stripes is pinned to the left breast.
Ranks
List of ISC ranks:
- Commander - 3 gold stripes on breast tab, 1 looping gold stripe on epaulettes, 1 gold aigulette.
- Unknown - 2 gold stripes on breast tab, plain epaulettes.
Background Information
- The connection between the Interplanetary Space Command of the 29th century and the International Space Command of the 20th and 21st centuries is unclear.
