The Center for operation of space ground-based infrastructure (TsENKI) is the organisation exploiting the Baikonur cosmodrome, based on an agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan.

It is the result of a merger of the «TsENKI» center and the «Scientific and Research Institute of Applied Mechanics named after  Academician V.I. Kuznetsov».

The mission of the TsENKI center is:

• to preserve and develop the scientific, industrial and technological potential of the Russian space industry,
• concentration and the effective use of intellectual, industrial and financial resources for the implementation of programs in space and ground systems,
• improving the quality of operation of the Baikonur cosmodrome and works  related to launches of spacecrafts.

The Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS) is an autonomous regional satellite navigation system being developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

The proposed system would consist of a constellation of seven satellites and a support ground segment. Three of the satellites in the constellation will be placed in geostationary orbit. These GEOs will be located at 34 East 83 East and 132 East longitude. Two of the GSOs will cross the equator at 55 East and two at 111 East. Such an arrangement would mean all seven satellites would have continuous radio visibility with Indian control stations. The satellite payloads would consist of atomic clocks and electronic equipment to generate the navigation signals.

This system will be under complete control of the Indian government. The requirement of such a navigation system is driven by the fact that access to Global Navigation Satellite Systems, GPS, is not guaranteed in hostile situations. The IRNSS would provide two services, with the Standard Positioning Service open for civilian use and the Restricted Service, encrypted one, for authorised users (military).

Two Wide-Angle Imaging Neutral-Atom Spectrometers (TWINS) are a pair of NASA instruments aboard two United States National Reconnaissance Office satellites in Molniya orbits.

TWINS was designed to provide stereo images of the Earth's ring current. The first instrument, TWINS-1, was launched aboard USA-184 on 28 June 2006. TWINS-2 followed aboard USA-200 on March 13, 2008. Each instrument consists of an energetic neutral atom imager and a Lyman alpha detector. The ENA imager provides indirect remote sensing of the ring current ions, and the Lyman alpha detector gives a measure of the neutral hydrogen cloud about the Earth, known as the geocorona.

The TWINS prime mission lasted two years, from 2008 to 2010, and has been followed by an extended mission which is ongoing (June 2013).
