The Bolivian Space Agency is is responsible for the development and application of space science for the benefit of Bolivians.

Exelis Inc. is a global aerospace, defense, information and services company created in October 2011 as a result of the spinoff of ITT Corporation's defense business into an independent, publicly traded company.

The company is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, USA and is led by CEO and President David F. Melcher. The Washington Post highlighted Exelis as a top company in the Washington, DC region in 2011.

The Deep Space Network (DSN) is a world-wide network of large antennas and communication facilities that supports interplanetary spacecraft missions.

It also performs radio and radar astronomy observations for the exploration of the solar system and the universe, and supports selected Earth-orbiting missions. DSN is part of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Other similar networks include ESTRACK of the European Space Agency, the Soviet Deep Space Network, the Indian Deep Space Network, and the Chinese Deep Space Network.

The Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) is an Orbiting Carbon Observatory planned to be launched in July 2014.

Its based on the original OCO mission (NASA) that failed to reaching injection orbit, on February 24, 2009, due to a launch vehicle anomaly.

OCO-2 is comprised of a single instrument that flies on a dedicated spacecraft. The instrument, consisting of three high resolution grating spectrometers, will acquire precise measurements of atmospheric CO2. The OCO-2 spacecraft bus, developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation, is primarily based on the LeoStar-2 bus design and architecture used for the OCO, Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE), and Galaxy Explorer (GALEX) missions.

The Observatory will be launched from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on a dedicated Delta II rocket in July 2014. The Observatory will acquire data in three different measurement modes. In Nadir Mode, the instrument views the ground directly below the spacecraft. In Glint Mode, the instrument tracks near the location where sunlight is directly reflected on the Earth's surface. Glint Mode enhances the instrument's ability to acquire highly accurate measurements, particularly over the ocean. In Target Mode, the instrument views a specified surface target continuously as the satellite passes overhead. Target Mode provides the capability to collect a large number of measurements over sites where ground based and airborne instruments also measure atmospheric CO2. The OCO-2 Science Team will compare Target Mode measurements with those acquired by ground-based and airborne instruments to validate OCO-2 mission data.

The Observatory has a planned operational life of 2 years.

The WASP System (Wallops Arc Second Pointer), currently under development in NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Va.,  is a NASA provided support system which can point telescopes on a balloon gondolas at inertial targets with arc-second accuracy.

WASP is intended to be a flexible system that can be used to support a variety of science-provided instruments and sensors to meet specific mission performance requirements. WASP is a highly stable, off-the-shelf-type system, that can accurately point  instruments and then track planetary targets as they moved in the solar system.
