This dimension groups astronauts by the space agency that selected and flew them. Wikipedia notes that "until 2002, astronauts were sponsored and trained exclusively by governments, either by the military or by civilian space agencies," so an astronaut's career is closely tied to one sponsoring body. Browsing this way collects every astronaut flown by a single agency.
