The Caminoan Sapce Agency (CSA), formerly Caminoan Aeronautics and Space Agency (CASA), is the main governmental space research and spacecraft manufacturing institute of the Caminoes, responsible for space and technological research relative to space exploration and other fields of research. The Caminoan Space Program (included in The Final Frontier Act of 1978) is tasked with the goal of space exploration, research, aeronautics research, and other scientific inquiries related to space science.
The re-structuring of the organization, that led to the re-branding as well (i.e the reduction of "Aeronautics" in the name), was a change led by the new Caminoan Commission on Space in an effort to simplify and synthesize the objective of the administration towards the "One Goal", that being the further deepening of the space knowledge through Caminoan science and technology.

Leadership
The agency's main headquarters are located at Hanoma City with it being the main campus, other headquarters can be found at; Sagacity, in the campus of the University of Sagacity in its Intelek Building, where most technological engineering strategies are planned, the Junior Pad (name derived from its personnel made up of mostly graduate students, as this is where recruits are usually assigned) in Nakoma City, serving as its 3rd base of operations.
The Director-General is selected by the Caminoan Science Committee in parliament with the advisory of the Caminoan Commission on Space (CCS). Term limits are not applied for the leadership position as it was highlighted that consistency in the focus of the administration is essential to its efficiency, the CCS on the other hand do, and once positions are open new committee members are selected by MP's in the Science Committee.
The current Director General is Sofia Toshinori, appointed by Prime Minister Mitsuko Itou in February 12 2011, she was preceded by Dr. Ángel Ruperto Evangelista PhD.
Strategic Plan
CSA is headed by a primary vision stated under the "One Goal" policy, suited for the FY2023. The One Goal was drafted as a bill submitted under the Science Committee with MP's; Derrick Lancaster, Hama Yamada, Talia Nyong'o, Sarah Hinterlunde, Oscar Wallis Just, and Eris Salvador as proponents.
The four tenets of the One Goal were;
- The expansion of knowledge for the scientific community with the ultimate beneficiary being the human race.
- The betterment of economic progress, furthering growth through technological innovation and quelling economic disruptions.
- The researching of sustainable means for economic and human existential growth through innovative technological ideas.
- The unification of international communities through enhanced cooperation over technological and scientific advancements, in the recognition of space as the final frontier for humanity to achieve, regardless of general differences in where, what, and who you are, in the hope that through these virtues and values we achieve true victory for our species, this being The One Goal, not for the Caminoan pride, but for human pride.
