The Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS) is a planned NASA unmanned space mission, to study the Earth's magnetosphere using four identical spacecraft flying in a tetrahedral formation.

This system will be deployed in 2014. It is designed to gather information about the microphysics of magnetic reconnection, energetic particle acceleration, and turbulence, processes that occur in many astrophysical plasmas.

Fregat is a type of rocket stage developed by NPO Lavochkin in the 1990s.

The main part of the stage is six intersecting spheres placed on a single plane, four of which contain propellants. The remaining two contain the control equipment. The main engine is placed between the spheres, so Fregat is a tightly-packed stage with a diameter much larger than its height. Fregat is a versatile spacecraft. For example, in addition to orbital insertion, it can be used as an escape stage to launch modern space probes into interplanetary trajectories (e.g., Venus Express and Mars Express). 

Fregat stages are currently (June 2013) used as the fourth stage of some Soyuz-FG launch vehicles. A version called Fregat-SB can be used with Zenit-2SB rocket. This version has a block of drop-off tanks which makes increased payload capability possible. Fregat-SB was launched for the first time on 20 January 2011, when it lifted the Elektro-L weather satellite into geosynchronous orbit.

The stage can be restarted multiple times, which has been used to place payloads such as the GIOVE-B satellite into their planned orbits.

Its main engine is a liquid propellant rocket that uses UDMH and N2O4 as propellants.

ÅAC Microtec is a company developing miniaturized and robust multifunctional electronics systems.

By combining the best suitable packaging techniques we offer solutions based on state-of-the art microelectronics and MEMS technology, and services for optimal life cycle performance.

ÅAC Microtec was founded in 2005 as a spin-off from Uppsala University's Ångström Laboratory. It began with a vision to develop nanosatellites that were easy to launch. It became a center of academic excellence in miniaturizing and packaging electronics with mechanics. On January 21, 2009, the vision became a reality when our flight computer went into orbit onboard SpriteSat, a Japanese satellite built to observe terrestrial lightning flashes in the upper atmosphere. 

AAC Microtec is supporting NASA for the integration and commercialization of small satellites.

Salvo is a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), proposed for developing on-board software for the CubeSat projects.

SpaceEye-1 is a 300 kg class small satellite system for Earth observation mission, providing 1 m level resolution images which only large satellites have generated so far.

SpaceEye-1 is designed for enabling customers to acquire the state-of-the-art small Earth observation satellite at a fraction of the conventional satellite cost and benefit from low launch cost. Its qualification model is currently under development.

SpaceEye-1 and its companion products, SpaceEye-2 and SpaceEye-10, are proposed by the satellite manufacturer Satrec Initiative.

The Astrophysics Source Code Library (ASCL) is a free on-line registry for source codes of interest to astronomers and astrophysicists, and lists codes which have been used in research that has appeared in, or been submitted to, peer-reviewed publications. ASCL entries are indexed by the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS).

It has been founded in 1999 by Robert Nemiroff and John Wallin, takes an active approach to sharing astrophysical source code. ASCL's editor seeks out both new and old peer-reviewed papers that describe methods or experiments that involve the development or use of source code, and adds entries for the found codes to the library. This approach ensures that source codes are added without requiring authors to actively submit them, resulting in a comprehensive listing that covers a significant number of the astrophysics source codes used in peer-reviewed studies.
