From NASA to ISRO, here are top space agencies in the world:
The world’s space agencies are constantly pushing the boundaries of space exploration and discovering something new in the cosmos. There are 195 countries in the world, and out of these 195 countries only 77 countries have space agencies. And only 13 countries have launching capabilities. Let's explore world's top 5 space agencies.
1. NASA - United States
)
NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) was established in 1958, is renowned for its pioneering space exploration missions. From the iconic Apollo moon landings to the Mars rover missions, NASA has been at the forefront of space exploration, scientific research, and technological advancements. With a focus on both crewed and robotic missions, NASA continues to push the boundaries of space exploration and inspire people worldwide with its groundbreaking discoveries. This America's space agency ranks at the first place in the list.
2. Roscosmos - Russia
)
Roscosmos, (Russian Federal Space Agency) has a rich history in space exploration, dating back to the Soviet era. Responsible for launching crewed missions to space stations like the International Space Station (ISS) and conducting ambitious space missions, Roscosmos plays a vital role in advancing space technology and scientific research. Collaboration with international partners has been a hallmark of Roscosmos' endeavors in space exploration. The Russian space agency ranks second in the list.
3. ESA - Europe
