Reputation
From Kerbal Space Program Wiki
Reputation is a measure to determine the player's success rate at contracts, and can be gained by completing them. Failing a contract or losing Kerbals reduces the reputation. It appears that the reputation changes the prestige of available contracts. Reputation (if positive) can be spent to activate certain Strategies in the Administration Facility. Also, a minimum reputation level is required for some of the other strategies at various commitment levels. Sometimes this minimum reputation level can be negative.
The upper limit of reputation is 1000. The points you actually get for a contract runs through a formula which exponentially decreases the amount as you get near the limit, so you will never reach it.
