It is situated in the Sriharikota Island, on India's east coast, about 62 miles (100km) north of Madras at 13°47' North and 80°15' East. Sriharikota, is an island in the Nellore District of Andhra Pradesh State, lies along the east of Pulicat Lake and is reached by road from Madras. Prior to its acquisition for ISRO by the Indian Government, its was a firewood plantation of Eucalyptus and Casuarina trees. This island is affected by both south-westerly and north-easterly monsoons, but heavy rains come only in October and November. Thus many clear days are available for out-door static tests and launchings. VSSC - Vikram Sarabhai Space Center Trivandrum's Liquid Propulsion Systems Center (LPSC) operates as a separate entity. TERLS is now a United Nations sponsored station located on the sandy coast of the Arabian Sea. The location of Thumba (8°32'34" N, 76°51'32" E) is ideal for the furtherance of low-altitude, upper-atmosphere and ionosphere studies which are of special importance in the region of the magnetic equator (just north of Thumba). Because of this factor, with the assistance and co-operation of France, the USA and Russia, TERLS has become an international launch site for sounding rockets.

Woomera's advantages include polar orbit access, a sparsely inhabited downrange area, an existing infrastructure and largely cloud-free weather.

Commercial Space Center for Engineering
(CSCE) NASA Space Centers Back to top Commercial Space Centers has a mission to develop technologies with industry for NASA mission needs and space power-related commercial ventures. The CSP has developed a variety of space power-related technologies that are available for licensing and applicable to both space and terrestrial commercial activities. These technologies include specialized heat pipes, advanced battery components, novel electronic materials, digital communications algorithms, power conditioners, and a host of other power-related devices. Our Mission is to advance engineering research on and foster commercial use of the International Space Station. The CSCE's mission is to promote commercial engineering research and technology development on the International Space Station. As one of NASA's Commercial Space Centers, the CSCE and its business partners merit preferred and low-cost access to space. We represent a one-stop-shop for spacecraft technology developers, providing expert technical support, simplified ISS integration, and business planning services. The Center for Mapping at Ohio State The Center for Mapping (CFM) is both a NASA Commercial Space Center and an Ohio State University interdisciplinary research center focused on spatial data technologies, including remote sensing, geodesy using the Global Positioning System (GPS), inertial navigation systems (INS), photogrammetry, image processing, computer vision, image understanding, modeling, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Research Partnership Centers
Research Partnership Centers, located at academic institutions and funded by NASA, develop industry partners to pursue specific areas of commercial research. The industry partners generate a demand for doing business in space and help fund a portion of the operations and research. The Centers are subject to several types of review and appraisal. One measure used is the interest of industry, which is evaluated by the number of industry partners and funding. Another measure checks progress against previously established milestones. Periodic checks are made by an outside source, such as the National Academy of Public Administration, to provide an independent assessment of the Centers and their performance. Currently, NASA's Space Product Development Program manages 15 Research Partnership Centers. As new areas of commercial interest are identified, new Centers will be established, while other Centers may be disbanded if industry involvement wanes. The current Research Partnership Centers are: BioServe Space Technologies (collocated at Colorado and Kansas ) works with industry to explore commercial space opportunities in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, biomedical, and agricultural areas. BioServe provides research support, specialized hardware and access to space flight. Life sciences companies are rapidly developing new products that affect everything from medicine to agribusiness. The work being done at BioServe is opening exciting new horizons for developing products, and ensuring that the full potential of these fields are realized.

    CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA’s coastal Florida spaceport and other agency centers across the nation reopened Thursday, but it wasn’t exactly business as usual in the wake of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C. Two days after hijacked airliners crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, federal government and contractor employees returned to work amid tight security at the agency’s Washington, D.C., headquarters and 10 field centers around the nation. "We’re all open for business," said NASA spokesman Brian Dunbar. "But certainly security is heightened." More Stories

    The commercial development of the space frontier is one of the greatest opportunities facing America. It is the growth of business into space that will bring the benefits of space down to Earth and enrich the everyday lives of all Americans. NASA is encouraging businesses to seize this opportunity through its Space Product Development Program, to ensure the continued economic growth of the U.S. and to bring the opportunities for new advances, technological understanding, products, and jobs to the public. To accomplish our objectives, the Space Product Development Office teams with industry to exploit the space environment and its resources to facilitate net economic return from the exploration and eventual settlement of space. The majority of this teaming is done via Commercial Space Centers. Commercial Space Centers are those organizations at NASA Field Centers and Universities, which are a consortia of industry, academia, and government that conduct industry driven space based, high technology research and development. The CSC's specialize in areas ranging from Automation Technology to Zeolite Crystal Growth.

    Up to a few years ago, the Kosmos Pavilion in the VNDKh park on the east side of Moscow used to be a large space museum. In the 1990's, after the fall of the Soviet Union the museum was turned into a set of commercial shops. Most of the exhibits are still there, but puched back into corners. Nobody wants to cart them away. A Vostok rocket marks the front of the Kosmos Pavilion whic is about a mile north of the Mermorial Museum of Cosmonautics. The booster is surrounded by used cars for sale. Inside the pavilion, shops line the walls. Its not heated inside either. On this day cars have been removed and are about to be put back in. A Proton-4 hangs from the ceiling Spacecraft can be seen in the corners behind a short screen. A Vostok and a picture of Yuri Gagarin dominate the space usually used for used car sales.
