Agency

This dimension names the space agency a pioneer worked for or flew with. Wikipedia notes that the Soviet space program "achieved many of the first milestones, including the first living being in orbit in 1957" and the first human spaceflight in 1961, each credited to a specific national program. Browsing this way collects every pioneer associated with the same agency.
