The National Space Bureau (Sanama) is the national agency responsible for the space programme in Sanama. Formed in 1681, its mission is to coordinate and facilitate Sanaman participation in space exploration, research and satellite construction and deployment. The directorate cooperates closely with the Sanaman Armed Forces and various other agencies and universities in Sanama. In 1691 construction began on Gehenn Island in So Sara of a space centre, to give Sanama the ability to launch satellites and later manned spacecraft.
Strategic cooperation
The directorate cooperates with Sanama Arms Industries for construction of parts for satellites and space stations, and with Simines for production of electronics for the same. Since 1683 Sanama is also a partner in the Senyan Space Programme.
Astronaut programme
The directorate is the coordinating agency for the Sanaman astronaut programme, initiated in X.1683 after Sanama joined the Senyan programme. In XIV.1683 the selection process for the first class of astronauts was completed. They were deployed to Space City in Senya shortly after to begin astronaut training.
