Did you know Mexico had a space agency?

I went to an all hands meeting at work last week and my manager was giving the up the quarterly pep talk about how well we are doing on the contract and some updates with the company by telling us that the company is expanding which is always good because there’s more opportunities within the company. Then she tells us that we are going international. We are opening up an office in Mexico because apparently Mexico is starting up a space agency (AEXA), who knew?

So this got me wondering what other countries had a space program that I wasn’t aware of… I knew the major international partners like Russia (RKA), the European Space Agency (ESA), Canada (CSA) and who can forget the Taikonauts from Japan (JAXA). The newest ones that I knew were coming into their own have been China (CNSA) and India (ISRO) because they have been in the news lately. I did a little bit of research and discovered that Bangladesh had a space program. To see the complete list check it out here.
