1960s

This dimension groups space agencies by the era in which they were founded, from the first agencies of the Space Race to newer national programs. Wikipedia names major agencies such as "the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States" and "the European Space Agency (ESA)", founded in very different decades. Browsing by founded era lets a visitor compare agencies established in the same historical period.
