The Astronautical Society of India (ASI) was set up in 1990 to foster the development of astronautics in India.

ASI is engaged in the dissemination of technical and other information related to astronautics by conducting technical meetings, bringing out technical publications and organising exhibitions. The society is also playing an active role to promote the interests of other developing countries in the field of astronautics.

Mars One is a private spaceflight project to establish a permanent human colony on Mars.

Announced in June 2012, the plan is to send a communication satellite and path finder lander to the planet by 2016 and, after several stages, land four humans on Mars for permanent settlement in 2023. A new set of four astronauts would then arrive every two years. 

Mars One became a not for profit foundation (under Dutch law) in early October 2012.

The International Research School of Planetary Sciences (IRSPS) is a non-profit and independent institution devoted to research and graduate studies in the fields of planetary sciences and planetary geology.

Planetary research mainly deals with the sub-disciplines of geology, geochemistry, geophysics, petrology, and exobiology. However, the IRSPS is not limited to these subjects and it welcomes scientific contributions from any field of planetology. Also, the educational programs are not restricted to those fields and they will cover the entire spectrum of planetary disciplines by joint ventures and collaborations with other international institutions.

It is based in Pescara, Italy.

ATLAS Aeospace is a Russian company based in Moscow, providing training sessions for space flight.

ATLAS Aeospace proposes programs of space training such, as Zero-G flights, mastering skills for operations in outer space, extra-vehicular activity (EVA), survival training, aerobatics on board a combat aircraft, which give the trainees an idea about the stages of the forthcoming flight in real time-scale.

Ground-based complex space simulators enable to acquire knowledge in the field of space vehicle and space station control, to study the space suit design, its lay-out and operational procedures, to get the sense of a G-load, which cosmonauts are exposed to at the stage of the space vehicle insertion and de-orbiting.

Aeroflex Gaisler (ex Gaisler Research) is a Swedish company providing complete framework for the development of processor-based 'System-on-a-Chip' designs.

The key product is the LEON synthesizable processor model together with a full development environment and a library of IP cores (GRLIB). Our personnel have extended design experience, and have been involved in establishing European standards for ASIC and FPGA development. Aeroflex Gaisler has a long experience in the management of ASIC development projects, and in the design of flight quality microelectronic devices. The company specializes in digital hardware design (ASIC/FPGA) for both commercial and aerospace applications. We offer services and products in the following fields:

LEON is a 32-bit CPU microprocessor core, based on the SPARC-V8 RISC architecture and instruction set.

It was originally designed by the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC), part of the European Space Agency (ESA), and after that by Gaisler Research (now Aeroflex Gaisler). It is described in synthesizable VHDL.

LEON has a dual license model: A LGPL/GPL FLOSS license that can be used without licensing fee, or a proprietary license that can be purchased for integration in a proprietary product. The core is configurable through VHDL generics, and is used in system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs both in research and commercial settings.

ESA's Alphasat telecom satellite, the Proba-V microsatellite, the Earth-monitoring Sentinel family and the BepiColombo mission to Mercury are among the missions to use an advanced 32-bit microprocessor – engineered and built in Europe.

All of them incorporate the LEON2-FT chip, commercially known as the AT697. Engineered to operate within spacecraft computers, this microprocessor is manufactured by Atmel in France but originally designed by ESA.

the Virtual Solar Observatory (VSO) is a federated search system for solar physics images. It is a collaborative distributed solar data archive and analysis system with access through the Web. 

The Virtual Solar Observatory makes it possible to access data from multiple sources. The VSO automatically sends a user's query to databases held at many sites, all over the Internet. Those sites search in parallel, and the VSO packages and delivers their answers to the user who can then refine the search or use links to access the data directly from the data providers.

Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) is a planned space exploration mission to send a space probe to orbit Mars and study its atmosphere.

It will help determine what caused the Martian atmosphere —and water— to be lost to space, making the climate increasingly inhospitable for life.

Deep Impact is a NASA space probe launched on January 12, 2005.

It was designed to study the interior composition of the comet 9P/Tempel, by releasing an impactor into the comet. At 5:52 UTC on July 4, 2005, the impactor successfully collided with the comet's nucleus. The impact excavated debris from the interior of the nucleus, allowing photographs of the impact crater. The photographs showed the comet to be more dusty and less icy than had been expected. The impact generated a large and bright dust cloud, which unexpectedly obscured the view of the impact crater.
