[owenander]

I'm wondering what budgets are for government space agencies throughout the world...<br /><br />NASA<br />JAXA<br />Russia?<br />China?<br />Anybody else?<br /><br />Links/Factual numbers would be great thanks!

NASA: ~$16 Billion<br />European Space Agency: ~$3.8 Billion<br />JAXA $ 2.1 Billion<br />Russian Federal Space Agency: $1.3 Billion<br />Brazilian Space Agency: $1.2 Billion (watch them; they're working w/ Russia and China)<br />Indian Space Research Organization: 815 Million<br />China National Space Administration: $500 Million (officially, likely 3-4 x that)<br /> <br />BTW: anyone notice that China's CNSA emblem is straight out of Star Trek? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Wow thanks guys for the speedy help, so it's safe to say that world wide governments are spending more than $25 billion (are those all in US dollars docm)?

You might also inquire about military space budgets? DoD has several times NASA's budget for space applications and development. Also, there is some give-and-take between civilian and military space, the best current example being China's military human spaceflight project.<br /><br />Josh <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div align="center"><em>We need a first generation of pioneers.</em><br /></div> </div>

Add Canada to that list at about $350 million (used to be less in USD but now the Canadian dollar is almost at parity). <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>----- </p><p>http://mithridates.blogspot.com</p> </div>

So would you say US DoD space budget would be more than $10 billion?

Nearly ten years ago the DOD budget was over $20 billion for directly space related activities at a time when NASAs budget was probably around $10 billion. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.

Found a link to the current budget for DOD space. And as expected, a lot of the line items seem to have little to do with actual space operation but this is how the budget was broken down by this organization.<br /><br />http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/library/budget/fy2006/index.html <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.

http://www.fcw.com/article97556-02-05-07-Web<br /><br />The link above suggests the space budget for the year was actually much smaller than what I had seen years ago. I don't recall where I saw the $20 billion figure but it was probably a trade mag such as Aviation leak. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.
