#Earlier this year, for example, China's space agency said it launched three satellites to clean up space debris orbiting the Earth:
An ambitious plan is now underway to build an African Space agency called"Afrispace#.#And while Clooney's contribution to all this may only be a cameo role,
#as a precursor to a full-blown space agency by 2016, intended to lead the nation's civilian space exploration efforts.
In light of this, calls are growing from many on the continent#and even the African Union#for the formation of Afrispace, a pan-African space agency.
#and establish the Afrispace space agency. As it happens, several other African Union ministers already supported the idea of an African space agency,
says Abdul Hakim Elwaer, director of Human resources, Science and Technology for the African Union. An AU working group on space
Is an African space agency really achievable though? The African Union has struggled historically to achieve unity and consensus on the continent on a host of issues.
if one of the primary drivers of developing national space agencies in Africa is about sovereignty,
The expertise required to rival other large space agencies may also be a long way off#at least judging by the way some existing African space organizations present themselves to the world.
I found that nearly every national space agency or society website was loaded with incomplete or broken content#some were not even functioning.
and many remain positive that the dream of a pan-African space agency can be achieved.""We know building independent African facilities will not happen overnight,
In June 2013, The french Space agency announced it would switch the satellite off and let it burn up as it re-enters the atmosphere#the usual fate of our mechanical helpers in space.
but Japanese automaker Nissan has signed a pact with US space agency NASA to develop self-driving cars. The five-year agreement announced last week covers a partnership on research and development of autonomous vehicle systems and their commercial applications.
Since then, the space agency has been developing more sophisticated versions for lunar and planetary excursions, including the nuclear-powered Curiosity Mars rover,

An internal memo made public this week revealed the space agency has suspended contact with Russia except for that concerning International space station (ISS) operations.
Next month the Japanese space agency JAXA will pilot its electrodynamic tether for the first time. It is one of many possible solutions that have been proposed to deal with space debris (see Catch'em drag'em blast'em.
Hopefully the lander doesn't tilt said Bernard Foing director of the International Lunar Exploration Working group a forum sponsored by multiple space agencies before the landing.

the space agency says images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) have revealed compelling evidence of liquid brines flowing across the planet's surface.
According to the new model put together by the space agency the summer months on Mars see a shallow subsurface flow of briny water coming down from the planet's canyons and crater walls.
The space agency also signed a $1. 9 billion deal with Virginia-based Orbital Sciences Corp. to fly eight such missions using the company's Cygnus spacecraft and Antares rocket.
