The Tanegashima Space Center (TNSC) is one of Japan's space development facilities.

It is located on Tanegashima (Japan), an island located 115 km south of Kyūshū. It was established in 1969 when the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) was formed. It is now run by JAXA.
The activities that take place at TNSC include assembly, testing, launching and tracking of satellites, as well as rocket engine firing tests. It is Japan's largest space development center.

The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a joint space mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) designed to monitor and study tropical rainfall.

The term refers to both the mission itself and the satellite that the mission uses to collect data. TRMM is part of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth, a long-term, coordinated research effort to study the Earth as a global system.

The satellite was launched on November 27, 1997 from the Tanegashima Space Center in Tanegashima, Japan.

The Virginia Space Grant Consortium (VSGC) is a coalition of five Virginia colleges and universities, NASA, state educational agencies, Virginia's Center for Innovative Technology, and other institutions representing diverse aerospace education and research.

The VSGC acts as an umbrella organization, coordinating and developing aerospace-related and high technology educational and research efforts throughout the Commonwealth and connecting Virginia's effort to a national community of shared aerospace interests.

It is part of the American National Space Grant Colleges.

The Astrophysics Data System (ADS), developed by NASA, is an online database of over eight million astronomy and physics papers from both peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed sources.

Abstracts are available free online for almost all articles, and full scanned articles are available in Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) and Portable Document Format (PDF) for older articles. New articles have links to electronic versions hosted at the journal's webpage, but these are typically available only by subscription (which most astronomy research facilities have). It is managed by the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

The Astrophysics Source Code Library (ASCL) is a free on-line registry for source codes of interest to astronomers and astrophysicists, and lists codes which have been used in research that has appeared in, or been submitted to, peer-reviewed publications. ASCL entries are indexed by the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS).

Much of scientific progress now hinges on the reliability, falsifiability and reproducibility of computer source codes. Astrophysics in particular is a discipline that today leads other sciences in making useful scientific components freely available online, including data, abstracts, preprints, and fully published papers, yet even today many astrophysics source codes remain hidden from public view.

The Astrophysics Source Code Library (ASCL), founded in 1999 by Robert Nemiroff and John Wallin, takes an active approach to sharing astrophysical source code. ASCL's editors seek out both new and old peer-reviewed papers that describe methods or experiments that involve the development or use of source code, and add entries for the found codes to the library. This approach ensures that source codes are added without requiring authors to actively submit them, resulting in a comprehensive listing that covers a significant number of the astrophysics source codes used in peer-reviewed studies.

The ASCL established an advisory committee in 2011 to provide input and guide its development and expansion. ASCL source codes have been used to generate results published in or submitted to a refereed journal and are available for examination via a download site.

The ASCL is indexed by the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) and Web of Science's Data Citation Index, and is citable by using the unique ascl number assigned to each code. The ascl number can be used to link to the code entry by prefacing the number with ascl.net (i.e., ascl.net/1201.001).

You can follow the ASCL on our blog, our low-volume Facebook page, on Twitter, or by becoming a member of the ASCL forum and subscribing to it.

The Destiny laboratory is a module of the International Space Station (ISS). It is the primary operating facility for U.S. research payloads aboard the ISS.

It was berthed to the Unity module and activated over a period of five days in February, 2001. Destiny is NASA's first permanent operating orbital research station since Skylab was vacated in February 1974.

The Boeing Company began construction of the state-of-the art research laboratory in 1995 at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Destiny was shipped to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida in 1998, and was turned over to NASA for pre-launch preparations in August 2000. It was launched on February 7, 2001 aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis on STS-98.

Astronauts work inside the pressurized facility to conduct research in numerous scientific fields. Scientists throughout the world will use the results to enhance their studies in medicine, engineering, biotechnology, physics, materials science, and Earth science.

Rocketstar Robotics is an American company dedicated to providing actuators and mechanisms for spaceflight applications.

The company has over 25 years of experience in the design and manufacture of spacecraft mechanisms.

the Institute of Planetary Research carries out and supports research programs on the internal structure, formation and evolution of the planets, their moons, and asteroids and comets.

Techniques employed include remote sensing and in-situ investigations using instruments carried on spacecraft, astronomical observations from the ground, theoretical modeling, and laboratory experiments.

It is DLR entity.

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center founded by the University of California in 1952. It is a research and development institution for science and technology.

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has a mission of strengthening the United States’ security through development and application of world-class science and technology to:

• Enhance the nation’s defense;
• Reduce the global threat from terrorism and weapons of mass destruction;
• And respond with vision, quality, integrity and technical excellence to scientific issues of national importance.

LLNL is home to many unique facilities and a number of the most powerful computer systems in the world,

The laboratory was honored in 2012 by having the synthetic chemical element livermorium named after it.

It is primarily funded by the United States Department of Energy (DOE).

The Golden Spike Company is an American space transport startup company,with the objective to offer private commercial space transportation services to the surface of the Moon.

The company is planning to transform human space exploration by putting in place affordably priced lunar orbital and surface expeditions to the only natural satellite of the Earth – the Moon. Golden Spike will further transform human lunar exploration by making these missions participatory expeditions that involve the general public in ways that create exciting new ways to monetize human space exploration.

The name of the company is in reference to the ceremonial final spike placed in the First Transcontinental Railroad upon its completion.
