The Baikonur Cosmodrome, also called Tyuratam, is a very large space launch facility.

It is located in the desert steppe of Kazakhstan, about 200 kilometres  east of the Aral Sea. It is leased by the Kazakh government to Russia (as of 2012 : until 2050) and is managed jointly by the Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) and the Russian Space Forces. The shape of the area leased is an ellipse, measuring 90 kilometres  east-west by 85 kilometres  north-south, with the cosmodrome at the centre. It was originally built by the Soviet Union in the late 1950s as the base of operations for its space program. 

The China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) is an organizational unit of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC).

CAST designs and manufactures Dong Fang Hong satellites.

The Malaysian National Space Agency (MNSA) is the national space agency of Malaysia.  In Malay: Agensi Angkasa Negara, ANGKASA.

It was established in 2002. The Malaysian National Space Agency (ANGKASA) is responsible in leading and observing the development of space science in Malaysia through the following efforts:

• Providing leadership in the educational aspect and the research of space science.
• Assisting the government in formulating and executing the National Space Fundamentals.
• Providing quality service to customers to help achieve the above mentioned goals.

RazakSAT is a Malaysian satellite carrying a high-resolution camera.

It was launched into low Earth orbit by a Falcon 1 rocket on July 14, 2009. It was placed into a near-equatorial orbit that presents many imaging opportunities for the equatorial region. It weighs over three times a much as TiungSAT-1 and carries a high resolution Earth observation camera. Developed in conjunction with Satrec Initiative, the satellite's low inclination orbit (9 degrees) brought it over Malaysia a dozen or more times per day. This was intended to provide greatly increased coverage of Malaysia, compared to most other Earth observation satellites.

TiungSAT is the first Malaysian microsatellite. The satellite is developed through the technology transfer and training programme between Astronautic Technology Sdn Bhd (ATSB) Malaysia and Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, United Kingdom.

Tiung SAT-1 was launched aboard Dnepr rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan on 26 September 2000.

Astronautic Technology Sdn Bhd (ATSB) is a state-owned organisation focused on research and development in the area of design and development of space-qualified systems.

ATSB was entrusted with the design, development, launch and operation of TiungSAT-1, Malaysia's first microsatellite.

The technical expertise and experience gained in handling TiungSAT-1 served as a stepping stone for the second microsatellite, RazakSAT, which was successfully launched on 14 July 2009.

ATSB are also responsible for the installation and integration of several national infrastructure projects such as the Robotic Telescope.
