SpaceWorks Enterprises, Inc. (SEI) is a privately held aerospace firm based in Atlanta, GA, USA ; with offices in Washington, DC.

SpaceWorks Enterprises, Inc. (also referred to as "SpaceWorks" or "SEI") is an aerospace engineering company focused on advanced concepts for NASA, United States Air Force, DARPA, and the commercial space industry. SEI was founded in 2000. The firm was previously known as SpaceWorks Engineering, Inc. (SEI) and officially changed its name in 2011. SpaceWorks was named the 39th fastest growing Engineering firm in the United States according to the 2011 Inc. 500/5000 list.

SEI has three Divisions: 

• SpaceWorks Engineering,
• SpaceWorks Commercial,
• SpaceWorks Software. 

The Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ

The centre studies the complex interactions between humans and the environment in cultivated and damaged landscapes. The scientists develop concepts and processes to help secure the natural foundations of human life for future generations. 

It was established in 1991 and has more than 1,000 employees in Leipzig, Halle/S. and Magdeburg.

The main locations are in Leipzig, Halle and Magdeburg.

Spektr-R (or RadioAstron) is a Russian orbital radio telescope, and is the largest space telescope in orbit. It was launched on 18 July 2011.

The main scientific goal of the mission is the study of astronomical objects with an angular resolution up to a few millionths of an arc second. This is accomplished by using the satellite in conjunction with ground-based observatories and interferometry techniques.

Spektr-R is one of the instruments in the RadioAstron program, an international network of observatories led by the Astro Space Center of the Lebedev Physical Institute. 

The telescope is intended for radio-astrophysical observations of extragalactic objects with ultra-high resolution, as well as researching of characteristics of near-Earth and interplanetary plasma. The very high angular resolving power will be achieved when used in conjunction with a ground-based system of radio-telescopes and interferometrical methods, operating at wavelengths of 1.35–6.0, 18.0 and 92.0 cm.[8] Once in space, the flower-like main dish was to open its 27 'petals' within 30 minutes.

PPTS (Prospective Piloted Transport System), unofficially called Rus, is a project being undertaken by the Russian Federal Space Agency to develop a new-generation partially reusable capsule manned spacecraft.

Its official name is Pilotiruemyi Transportny Korabl Novogo Pokoleniya or PTK NP meaning New Generation Piloted Transport Ship.

The goal of the project is to develop a new-generation spacecraft to replace the current Soyuz which was developed by the Soviet Union, and is similar to US Orion spacecraft. 

The Soyuz spacecraft (not to be mixed with the Soyuz rocket) is a series of spacecraft initially designed for the Soviet space programme by the Korolyov Design Bureau in the 1960s, and still in service today. The Soyuz succeeded the Voskhod spacecraft and was originally built as part of the Soviet Manned Lunar programme. 

The Soyuz spacecraft is launched by the Soyuz rocket, the most frequently used and most reliable Russian launch vehicle to date. Soyuz spacecraft were used to carry cosmonauts to and from Salyut and later Mir Soviet space stations, and are now used for transport to and from the International Space Station (ISS).

At least one Soyuz spacecraft is docked to ISS at all times for use as an escape craft in the event of an emergency.

The Elwing Company conceives, designs, develops, manufactures and markets advanced propulsion systems for satellites.

It designs and commercializes Electric Propulsion (EP) systems for satellites and spacecraft.
Based on an innovative electrodeless plasma thruster technology – The E-IMPAcT technology (Electrodeless-Ionization Magnetized-Ponderomotive Acceleration Thruster), our propulsion systems are designed to fulfill the propulsion needs of most spacecraft operators & manufacturers in the United States and throughout the world.

Established in 2002, The Elwing Company is privately held and has offices, affiliates and subsidiaries throughout the U.S. and in Europe. It developed and holds exclusive rights on the electrodeless plasma thruster technology.

CLARREO (Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory) is a proposed satellite mission led by NASA and partner organizations to better understand climate change on Earth.

CLARREO's measurements could be used to detect climate trends and to test, validate, and improve climate prediction models. This may lay the groundwork for informed decisions on mitigation and adaptation policies that address the effects of climate change on society. The mission, led and developed by NASA and partner organizations, will monitor the pulse of the Earth to better understand climate change.

CLARREO is a climate-focused mission that will become a key element of the climate observing system. The foundation for CLARREO is the ability to produce highly accurate and trusted climate records. Measurements derived from CLARREO will be used to detect climate trends and to test, validate, and improve climate prediction models.

The CLARREO mission will provide accurate, credible, and tested climate records that lay the groundwork for informed decisions on mitigation and adaptation policies that address the effects of climate change on society.

CLARREO is recommended as a joint NASA/NOAA mission. NOAA will contribute the total and spectral solar irradiance measurements and the Earth energy budget climate data records by flying the Total Solar Irradiance Sensor (TSIS) and the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) sensors. The NASA portion involves the measurement of spectrally resolved thermal IR and reflected solar radiation at high absolute accuracy.
