List of government space agencies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of government agencies engaged in activities related to outer space and space
exploration.

The name given is the English version, with the native language version below. The acronym
given is the most common acronym: this can either be the acronym of the English version (e.g.
JAXA), or the acronym in the native language. Where there are multiple acronyms in common
use, the English one is given first.

The date of the founding of the space agency is the date of first operations where possible. If the
space agency is no longer running, then the date when it was terminated (i.e. the last day of
operations) is given. A link to the Agency's primary website is also given.

Budgets
The annual budgets listed are the official budgets for national space agencies available in public
domain. The budgets are not normalized to the expenses of space research in different countries,
i.e. higher budget does not necessarily mean more activity or better performance in space
exploration.[77][78] Note also that budget could be used for different projects: e.g. GPS is
maintained from the US defence budget, whereas ESA's money is used for developing the
European Galileo positioning system. The data for authoritarian countries are unreliable. For
European contributors to ESA, the national budgets shown are separate from their contributions
to ESA.
