The Aeronautical Space and Technology Research Administration (ASTRA) is an independent agency of the Mavranai federal government responsible for the civil space program, aeronautics research, and space research. Established in 1971, it succeeded the Federal Aeronautic Technology and Research Agency (FATRA) to give the Mavranai space development and research effort a distinctly civilian focus, emphasizing peaceful applications in space science. It has since then been responsible for most of Mavran's space programs, albeit limited in scope. Currently, with a far smaller budget than at its creation, ASTRA has relatively few responsibilities, with Mavranai space capabilities dwindling with poor funding of the space program. However, in recent years, a wave of support from the resurgent left-wing in Mavranai politics has revitalised the program, as it begins to expand once more.
