Some of the income of the space agency is allocated to one of ongoing projects that named the Venus Project, costing a budget of $6 million. The annual budget of the agency is $70 million for research programs.
7 India:
Dr. Vikram Sarabhai established the Physical Research Laboratory that is deemed a progress hooting India into one of the top countries concerning the space technology. India’s major success was the launching of its first satellite. Indeed, India allocates a heftier budget for space researches to broaden their science in space. They have spent $1.6 billion for the previous launches.
6 France:
Human spaceflight and automatic investigation missions to other planets are some examples of France’s space programs. The country launched a new space balloon, with a budget of $10 million for the construction. In 2012, the agency has spent over $6 billion for their space flight missions.
5 China:
