International Territory
- The Moon: Obviously, the moon, the closest satellite or planetoid to the earth, is considered free space to all. It has been visited once in the 1960s by American astronauts, followed by around 7 other missions in the '70s and '80s. Since then, research and activity on the moon has been scarce to none, until recently. The United States has recently announced interest in visiting the moon again in a manned mission. In addition, the United States has crashed a rocket into the moon in search of water.
- Mars: The closest thing to an inhabitable planet. Various nation rovers, most being American, have been deployed to the surface.
- International Space Station: The International Space Station (ISS) is a research facility currently being assembled in outer space. On-orbit construction of the station began in 1998, and is scheduled to be complete by 2011, with operations continuing until around 2015. As of 2009 the ISS is the largest artificial satellite in Earth orbit, larger than any previous space station. The ISS programme is a joint project among the space agencies of the United States (NASA), Russia (RKA), Cascadia (CSEB), East Asian Federation (AEXA), Canada (CSA) and ten European nations (ESA). The Brazilian Space Agency (AEB) participates through a separate contract with NASA. The Italian Space Agency similarly has separate contracts for various activities not done within the framework of ESA's ISS projects (where Italy also fully participates). China has reportedly expressed interest in the project, especially if it would be able to work with the RKA, although as of 2009 it is not involved.
- Phobos: The East Asian Federation's Aerospace Exploration Agency and several corporations have generated plans to possibly terraform Phobos into a stable, water-based, tourist resort with complete environmental controls. Plans are just seen as no more as speculation at this point, some say this could happen as soon as 2011.
