Aurora Max is a project who shows auroras of Yellowknife (Northwest Territories, Canada). This project allows to amateur astronomers to watch auroras until the solar maximum, in 2013. Aurora Max is available only in French and in English.

 Amateur astronomers can see auroras online and live here, from the Observatory of Aurora Max.

This is in collaboration with the University of Calgary, the Canadian Space Agency, the society Astronomy North and the city of Yellowknife.

Launch Services Alliance is a partneship between several space companies to offer launch services.

It was created in July 2003: Arianespace joined with Boeing Launch Services and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to create the Launch Services Alliance. The flagship launchers for the Launch Services Alliance are Arianespace's Ariane rocket, Boeing's Sea Launch platform and Mitsubishi's H-II A vehicle.

The agreement enables customers to seamlessly transition among three private spaceflight platforms for maximum flexibility to ensure delivery to orbit while allowing the Alliance's three members to retain their marketing autonomy. The arrangement is roughly comparable to the airline industry's "code sharing" agreements.
