Tag Wiki 'List Of Government Space Agencies'.
Tag

Government space agencies, established by the governments of countries and regional agencies (groupings of countries) are established as a means for advocating for engaging in activities related to , exploitation of space systems, and/or space exploration. The listings summarize all countries' and regional authorities' space agencies with a comparative summary of demonstrated capabilities.

The objectives include national prestige, exploitation of information, communications, education, and economic development. These agencies tend to be civil in nature (vs military) and serve to advance the benefits of exploitation and/or exploration of space. They span the spectrum from old organizations with small budgets to mature national or regional enterprises such as the (NASA) of the United States, the European Space Agency (ESA) which coordinates for more than 20 constituent countries, the (JAXA), the (Roscosmos) of Russia, the (ISRO), and the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

The space agency listings are segregated to enable identification of subsets of the complete list that have advanced to higher levels or technical or programmatic proficiency in accordance with the following:

  • Establishment of agency, initial exploitation of space-based systems
  • Development of launch capability
  • Capacity for extraterrestrial exploration
  • Demonstration of human spaceflight capability across one or more of these domains


Overview
nearly 80 different government space agencies are in existence, including more than 70 national space agencies and several international agencies.

Without launch capabilities
This category is formed by agencies that operate and construct satellites in extraterrestrial environments, but do not have the capability to transport those satellites to the desired orbit/trajectory/landing spot. As far as we know as of the 10th May 2024, five space agencies have achieved the requirements to be listed here:

+Overview of space agencies extraterrestrial satellite operation and constructing capabilities.


Human spaceflight capability
This small group of countries/space agencies have demonstrated the highest technological capacity with systems and solutions that support human spaceflight along with the ancillary technological capabilities to support human activity in orbit and/or on extraterrestrial bodies. The missions identified (and personnel when appropriate) are the first successful accomplishments of each activity.
