Space Agencies and Companies

Every organization, government or private, that builds and flies spacecraft: the space agencies of every spacefaring nation and the private companies now flying alongside them, grouped by nation of origin. This category excludes the missions an agency runs and the spacecraft it flies, each its own category linked back here by relationship, and it excludes an agency's own general engineering research where that research is not itself spaceflight, which belongs to Technology.
