What do you name your space agencies?

[GalaxyGryphon]

I keep trying to make some up but they all sound to much like NASA because Aeronautics, Space, and Agency are all words i want to use.

anyway, post yours.

[Malachai]

Malachai Heavy Industries. It's basically what happens when a crazy homeless guy decides to stop screaming profanities at the moon, and instead starts to mine it. There's backstory, but yeah, MHI.

[Flymetothemun]

It took a load of work to come up with this one:

It's part of my Korporate Konglomerate named FTMCo. A website's in the works.

[ShachonianX]

Seal Aerospace

I have a thing with seals, and my YouTube subscribers are part of the Seal Army, so why not name my agency Seal Aerospace?

[Galacticruler]

Its not really an agency, more of a company, like SpaceX, but with a side of corperate greed and research.

Firebird Industries.

Our space program has killed well over a few thousand Kerbals....

[Warscribe]

"North Central Positronics" because when youre a fanboy, you might as well go the extra mile.

[satcharna]

Charna Heavy Industries (essentially a girder factory that decided to go to space) for the civilian side, Federal Space Agency for the governmental side. Boring, I know.

[OrbitusII]

Puffin Technologies- Aerospace Research Group; originally it was "Puffin Technologies Space Division," but the guys down in marketing and/or legal had it changed to improve the face value of the company.

The PT-ARG has had its share of failures (an entire engineering team was fired due to a fiasco with Tumbleweed 1 (Curiosity-style rover), some flight engineers were fired after Hopeful 1 landed on Eve, not Laythe) but it also has its share of successes!

[The Ideal Gas Lawyer]

I'm boring. I call it Kerbal Space Center

[JonoRig]

Usually I just use my name, but I do have a save called "Hellfire Laboratories" just cause I wanted to make a science division for my cam sats, and to join in on the flags thread

[CalculusWarrior]

I'm boring. I call it Kerbal Space Center

Me too. And all my rockets are named after their intended purposes. Well, sometimes I pull a cool-sounding name out of some mythology here or there, but other times I name a ship 'The Lagfest' because it lagged a bunch

[sadron]

The United Space Command.

[blspblackdeath]

SUIRAM - Space Urgent Investigations Research And Mining

[harleymaster64]

NISA

National Irish Space Administration

[UmbralRaptor]

OKB Raptop. I have some names for subcontractors, but eh.

(OKB == Experimental Design Bureau)

How does OKB equate to Experimental Design Bureau?

[UmbralRaptor]

How does OKB equate to Experimental Design Bureau?

OKB is a transliteration of the Russian initials of "Þÿытýþõ úþýÑÂтруúтþрÑÂúþõ ñюрþ" - Opytnoe Konstructorskoe Byuro, meaning Experimental Design Bureau

[sadron]

Ah! I see! Thank you.

[Jon Tash]

Everything I make, not only for KSP but other things too, is from Jon Tash Factory (JTF)

So my space agency is in fact JTF.

[leax256]

B.I.S.A

Bacon Intergalactic Space Administration.

[Malachai]

B.I.S.A

Bacon Intergalactic Space Administration.

Started when Kevin Bacon descended onto Kerbin and gave the inhabitants the gift of spaceflight.

[reptile2001]

Anvil Aerospace, because most of our preliminary designs could be outflown by an anvil.

[Scotius]

S.R.B. - Space Research Bureau.

[Custard Donut (In Space)]

Mine is called the "Kerbal Co-operative Outreach," they are an international, space-faring organisation funded by all the Kerbal nations, nations that cannot afford to contribute are allowed full involvement anyway for this is no ordinary endeavor.

Their aims are to explore the universe, to leave their presence known on as many moons and planets as possible in the form of yet to be invented (and long awaited) gadgets known as "flags," in the hope of offering future companionship to any alien life-form that finds said "flag" and to inform and assure them of Kerbal good nature and goodwill.

But most importantly and perhaps ironically for an organisation that travels further away from Kerbin than any other, it is to bring long-lasting peace to Kerbin itself, whether the universe be teeming with other civilizations or whether Kerbals are alone, the KCO seeks to insure that no matter what challenges the future may bring, Kerbal-kind will be in a position to meet them head-on, together.

Well, in my head they do and stand for all these things anyway

[cesarcurado]

Kerbal Space Agency or something

I don't get why people add "flashy" names.

EDIT: Thinking again, Kerman Aerospace would sound better
