20 RUSSIA: ROSCOSMOS Russian Federal Space Agency Cosmonauts

21 CHINA: CNSA China National Space Administration Taikonauts Only these three countries have sent their own people into space

22 OTHER MAJOR PROGRAMS ESA European Space Agency ISRO Indian Space Research Organization JAXA Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
