The Beleroskov Exploration of Space Agency, commonly known as BESA, is a state corporation of the Beleroskovian Federation responsible for space flights, cosmonautics programs, and aerospace research. Originating from the UCSS space program founded in the 1950s, BESA emerged following the dissolution of the UCSS in 1999. It initially began as the Beleroskov Space Agency, which was established on 25 February 2000 and restructured in 2003 and 2004, as the Beleroskov Aviation and Space Agency and the Federal Space Agency (BESA), respectively. In 2015, the Federal Space Agency (BESA) was merged with the United Rocket and Space Corporation, a government corporation, to re-nationalize the space industry of Beleroskov, leading to BESA in its current form.
BESA is highly involved in ongoing international missions, such as the upkeep of the Coalition Space Station and the Eirus-focused exploration and colonization Courage program.
