 Anikatia ASTRO Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Partial Partial No
The Anikatian Space and Technologies Research Organization is key government agency of and primary focus of space research in Anikatia with most of the the private space industries being smaller firms formed in the wake of the collapse of DSRA era design bureaus and state production companies. The industry entered a deep crisis after the fall of the DSRA, which had worked closely together with the Otterup Pact under a common space program. ASTRO is focused on the research, technology development, surveying, telecommunications and the launch of satellites into orbit, as well as many more advanced missions, such as asteroid exploration primarily with robotic probes. Though there has been discussion into a possible manned exploration of the Moon. ASTRO is also one of a few partners in the multinational Freedom Star VII Emmerian led space station program. Freedom Star VII is the most expansive multinational Pardesian space program effort, involving funding, astronauts, resupply services, and modules from 13 different countries and hundreds of companies.

SOAR is a private space company that is a subsidiary of industrial giant Roth Industries, and is the main contractor used by the Belhavian government on space-related programs or initiatives. Historically, a government-funded space program was politically untenable as a waste of resources and requiring high levels of taxes and government intervention into the market. As a result, Belhavian efforts piggybacked on those of its close ally, Emmeria, mainly through working with STAR, especially as the Cold War heated up.

However, by the late 1960s, many called for a space program of the country's own, which was realized under President Vern Callan, who sought to emulate the liberal cosmopolitan powers of the time in using government activism to solve important issues and problems. He set up the short-lived Belhavian Aeronautical and Space Research Agency ("BASRA") in 1972, and appropriated a large budget and staff. After a series of failed space launch vehicle designs and advanced missile concepts, as well as a turn in the political climate, BASRA suffered annual budget cuts starting in 1979 and was terminated in 1983 amid the Settas Revolution. BASRA's equipment and facilities were sold to other government departments (mainly military branches such as the Air Force) and private industry. In 1986, SOAR was founded by Roth Industries. SOAR is one of a handful of partners in the multinational Freedom Star VII Emmerian-led space station program.

Template:Country data Goredemabwa Goredemabwan Space Research Initiative No No No No No No No No
The development of Goredemabwan space initiatives has been the result of development assistance and information originating from the Otterup Pact's common space program. Its early history is marked by an early unrealistic proposal for a full-fledged space program with the help from the Communist bloc's common space program. However, lack of funds along with a tumultuous history of civil wars and instability severely hampered any real attempts a space program. Currently a private volunteer space advocacy group called the Goredemabwan Space Research Initiative is the only domestic space program it receives very limited funding from the government.
Template:Country data JSA Multinational Joint Space Agency Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Partial Yes
The Joint Space Agency was set up in 1970 as a way for the civilian space programs from a number of countries to pool their resources together for the purposes of manned and unmanned scientific space exploration. It is partially self-funding, being involved in commercial satellite launches as well as purely scientific endeavours. In the realm of manned space flight, it has achieved a 'round the moon' expedition with a crewed spacecraft and is one of STAR's partners in the Freedom Star VII project.
Template:Country data Neidmar Neidmar National Space Exploration Agency Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Partial No No
The Neidmar National Space Exploration Agency is the national Aerospace research and development institution of the Republic of Neidmar. The NNSEA has a varied and diverse range of projects currently under its belt and in planning stages with multiple research satellites orbiting Pardes and the moon. Although the agency has no achieved manned extraterrestrial missions to the moon or further it had achieved manned orbit around Pardes and plans to put a manned mission onto the moon within the next 10 years. Neidmar has taken special interest in the potential to collect Solar energy from orbital farms in orbit of Pardes and the sun however so far no viable way of transporting this energy back to Pardes has been settled on.
 Tarsas Imperial Space Directive Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Partial Yes
The Imperial Space Directive originated in 1960 as a direct order of the Emperor himself, called a "directive". The name of the order issued was known as the "Space Directive" and it was carried on in the organization as its primary name. The first satellite was launched in 1963, which lead to the development of an entire global military mapping and spy network. The organization worked primarily under the Imperial Air Legion until 1973, when it was classified as its own military branch and given an independent command structure. The Star Reacher Expeditions began soon after in 1976 which culminated in the first Tarsan moon landing in 1984. Soon after, the military opted to remove the ISD from military control and it was turned over to a civilian board of directors and given a full staff and budget. The ISD is currently apart of the Freedom Star VII, contributing astronauts and supply runs. The ISD has been responsible for at least five probes into the solar system, two of which are currently out past Pluto and are still transmitting data to this day. It is currently one of the only space programs to successfully land on the moon, with a landing on Mars planned by 2026.
File:Flag of Rodarion.png Rodarion Rodarian Space Research Administration Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Partial Partial No
The Rodarian Space Research Administration national space agency of the Papal Republic of Rodarion responsible for the national space program. The ACSR has a varied and diverse range of projects in its history and currently being planned. It first achieved manned space flight in 2002, using astronauts to repair satellites in orbit. ACSR has focused on satellite systems, orbital telecommunications and telescopes. Since then, ACSR's capabilities have expanded at a rapid rate, with plans for a permement space station in low earth orbit by 2018 and manned missions to the Moon and Mars in the very near future.
 United Republic STAR Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
The aggregate space program of the United Republic is drawn from three distinct sources: STAR, the civilian space program responsible for most government-led space initiatives; military space efforts such as the Air Force Space Command and space intelligence organizations like NARC; and the private space industry, consisting of launch service providers, satellite services, space consultant services, and numerous others. STAR has historically spearheaded the U.R. space effort, achieving manned spaceflight in 1960 as part of Project Pluto and conducting successful moon landings through the Hera program in the 1960s. Today, STAR has invested extensively in the U.R. space industry, giving rise to companies such as Allied Launch Systems (a joint endeavor between aerospace giants Altman Urbauer and Praxis), Orbital Launch Services, and numerous satellite-focused firms. STAR is the main operator of the Freedom Star VII space station, the largest artificial satellite in orbit around Earth, as part of a large international collaborative effort involving 13 nations and hundreds of companies. Emmerian private companies, municipal governments, and universities were also the key contributors to the boom of the global small satellite market of the 2010s, catalyzed by revolutionary developments in cubesats and lower-cost private industry-led launch systems.
