Reaction Engines Limited (REL) is a British aerospace company based in Oxfordshire, England.

The company conducts research into space propulsion systems, centred around the development of the Skylon re-usable SSTO spaceplane. The three founders worked together on the HOTOL project, funding for which was withdrawn in 1988, largely due to significant technical obstacles.

The AstroMast® is a self-deploying structure for spacecraft. It is a versatile product space proven with more than 50 successful deployments on programs such as MILSTAR, DMSP, Olympus, Mars Odyssey, GOES, and INSAT. It provides high performance in a coilable longeron mast and is available in a variety of sizes and configurations to suit your specific program needs.

The AstroMast is an extremely stiff and lightweight structure that can be manufactured in deployed diameters from 15 to 75 centimeters and as low as six kilograms mass.

The University of Central Florida, UCF, is a public research university located in the USA, in Orlando, Florida. 

The University of Central Florida opened in 1968 as Florida Technological University, with the goal of providing highly-trained personnel to support the Kennedy Space Center. the university's academic scope had expanded to encompass other disciplines, "Florida Tech" was renamed the University of Central Florida in 1978.

UCF is a space-grant university and has made noted research contributions in several scientific fields.

UCF has a satellite campus at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral.

the Center for Astrophysics at the University of Notre Dame (CANDU) is part of the Physics Department, which is in the College of Science at Notre Dame. Notre Dame is located in the USA, Northern Indiana near the city of South Bend. 

The center has research projects in the following areas:

• Cosmic Radiation and Solar Flares 
• T Tauri Stars, Extrasolar Planets, Proto-planetary disks
• Cosmology

Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) is a NASA program to coordinate the delivery of crew and cargo to the International Space Station by private companies.

The program was announced on January 18, 2006. NASA has suggested that "Commercial services to ISS will be necessary through at least 2015."
COTS must be distinguished from the related Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) program. COTS relates to the development of the vehicles, CRS to the actual deliveries. COTS involves a number of Space Act Agreements, with NASA providing milestone-based payments. COTS does not involve binding contracts.

The Cygnus spacecraft is an unmanned resupply spacecraft being developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation as part of NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) developmental program.

It is designed to transport supplies to the International Space Station (ISS) following the retirement of the American Space Shuttle in 2011. Since August 2000 unmanned ISS resupply missions have been regularly flown by Russian Progress spacecraft, as well as by the European Automated Transfer Vehicle, the Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle, and the SpaceX Dragon. With the Cygnus spacecraft, NASA seeks to increase its partnerships with domestic commercial aviation and aeronautics industry.
