The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (FGST), formerly called the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST), is a space observatory being used to perform gamma-ray astronomy observations from low Earth orbit.

Its main instrument is the Large Area Telescope (LAT), with which astronomers mostly intend to perform an all-sky survey studying astrophysical and cosmological phenomena such as active galactic nuclei, pulsars, other high-energy sources and dark matter. Another instrument aboard Fermi, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM; formerly GLAST Burst Monitor), is being used to study gamma-ray bursts.

Fermi was launched on 11 June 2008 aboard a Delta II 7920-H rocket. The mission is a joint venture of NASA, the United States Department of Energy, and government agencies in France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Sweden.

SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation is a Japanese direct broadcast satellite television company that operates the SKY PerfecTV! satellite network (including the JCSat satellites, the SuperBird satellites, the Horizons satellites).

SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation is the result of the merger of JSAT Corporation, SKY Perfect Communications, Inc., and Space Communications Corporation in October 2008. It is the core operating company of the SKY Perfect JSAT Group.

SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation is built on the strengths available from a hybrid business, operating both a stable space & satellite business and a proven, high-growth multi-channel pay TV business under one roof, while at the same time building services and  capacity to compete in the satellite communications market.

JSAT Corporation (JSAT) is satellite operator (Japan).

JSAT Corp. has a fleet of communications satellites in orbit. According to a 2004 report, JSAT was the fifth largest satellite operator in the world. JSAT was the first private-sector satellite communications operator in Japan (JCSat satellites). In October 2008 JSAT, was merged with SKY Perfect Communications, Inc., and Space Communications Corporation, resulting in the creation of the SKY Perfect JSAT Group.

The JCSat satellites are telecommunications satellites operated by the company 'SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation' (Japan).

The Angara rocket family is a family of space-launch vehicles being developed by the Moscow-based Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center.

(May 2013:) The rockets, which are to provide lifting capabilities between 2,000 and 40,500 kg into low earth orbit, are intended to become the mainstay of the Russian unmanned launcher fleet in the future and replace several existing systems.

Sputnix Ltd is a Russian company with activity in the field of small spacecraft Attitude Control and Determination Systems (ACDS).

Sputnix Ltd proposes design, development and test for ACDS systems. Another important activity of Sputnix is to design and manufacture a small spacecraft platform called TabletSat – a 10-12 kg SC platform for implementation of technological experiments in space.

It is a subsidiary company of the SCANEX Research and Development Center (ScanEx – the leading Russian company on the remote sensing market, specializing in receiving of Earth observation images from space, its thematic processing and distribution).

Sputnix Ltd's activity was initiated by the ScanEx Satellite Technology Division. This division developed a three-axes stabilization Attitude Control and Determination System (ACDS) for a small satellite Chibis-M. The Chibis-M spacecraft was successfully launched into orbit on 25 January 2012. Sputnix Ltd was established in 2011.
