Editing National Aerospace Exploration and Research Agency (section)

== History ==
On the 15th of July, 1989, NAERA, with the signing of the National Space Policy Act (1988)<ref>Also known as the NAERA Act (1988), it officially took effect in 1989.</ref>, was formed as a successor agency of the Legionite Aerospace Research Organization, in order to take Legionite space exploration efforts to a higher level, as interest in space exploration and exploitation intensified within the nation, with LARO being limited in its capacity to undertake such responsibility, having only been focused on aeronautical research in support of the Legionite AirForce, and the Legionite aviation industry, by extension. NAERA was formed to consolidate and streamline Legionite efforts in space exploration, with smaller agencies such as the Institute of Legionite Space Studies, National Institute of Astrophysical Studies and Royal Aeronautical Laboratories also being absorbed into the agency. Prior to absorption, the Institute of Legionite Space Studies was responsible for space and planetary research, as well as how life-forms on Earth would exist and/or survive in various planetary and space conditions, the National Institute of Astrophysical Studies was responsible for the advancement of astrophysical concepts such as astrobiology, cosmology, research on planetary systems, stellar astrophysics etc. and the Royal Aeronautical Laboratories was responsible for the development of experimental rockets and satellites, furthering rocket propulsion technology as well as furthering Legionite launch capabilities and furthering research into mass-driver launch systems. 

NAERA's primary spaceport, and operational headquarters are based at the Harrison Space Center, with the area formerly being utilized by the Royal Aeronautical Laboratories, as the Axtres Island Aeronautical Research Facility, as a launching site for experimental rockets and planes, with the space center located at a very advantageous position, close to the equator, and with the expansive Aegir Sea bordering it to the East, making launches considerably less expensive and dangerous. Its administrative headquarters is located within the Ministry of Defense in Aunistria, with the Agency being one of the first to be located at the capital before its promulgation in 1995.
