I've observerd that very few countries are able to build satelites and much less can launch them.
Ok...but the group does not reflect the real life acording to my knowledge and LORD Wiki
List of countries with launch capability
EDITED:
Back from work As requested here is the list of contries with their ID and the Tec IDs also.
Satellites: 24
Orbital launch pad: 12
Reconnaissance Satellites:86
Launch Physics: 145

Order
1 Soviet Union - XXX
2 United States - 2999
3 France - 1699
4 Japan - 2001
5 China - 1999
6 United Kingdom - 1399
7 India - 998
8 Israel - 501
- Russia - 800
- Ukraine - 1102
9 Iran - 601
OBS: According to my knowledge Argentina Brasil and South Korea have the ability to launch but failed to launch big rockets so far =/

Now here is the list of Countries that makes its own satelites by launch order
Country
Soviet Union( Russia) - 800
United States - 2999
United Kingdom - 1399
Canada - 2304
Italy - 1599
France - 1699
Australia - 2201
Germany - 1499
Japan - 2001
China - 1999
Netherlands - 1604
Spain - 1799
India - 998
Brazil - 2303
Sweden - 1204
Israel - 501
Argentina - 2301
Pakistan - 910
South Korea - 2003
Turkey - 699

Denmark - 1201
South Africa - 401
Saudi Arabia - 606
Iran - 601
Colombia - 2305
Switzerland - 1800

OBS: I can't tel the quality of them all to say if meets the game standards but I belive at least for communication they are worth. The only one I'm aware is the Brazilian that is launched in china and used mainly to signal broadcasting, border surveillance also as deforestation control and weather forecasting.

If you could grab me the region IDs for each of them from the wiki and the technology ID# from the default.ttrx file in /maps/data I'll get these added for the next update. The launch pads will have to wait as I'm not doing map work for a while.

Else I'll get to it when I get a chance.

OK But I'm a newbie here so let me see if I understood... You mean get the specific tecnologies each of them have IRL and link it? you mean like that?: 24, 4, 61, , , , 205, , , , 110, 3500000000, 0.5, 0.25, 0.25, True, False, False, False, False, // Satellites. I'm confused =p

you got the tech right, Satellites is tech #24, thanks.

for the regions, each has a unique ID like the techs, the regions are listed on the SupremeWiki;

http://www.supremewiki.com/index.php/In ... gions_list

so if you could just "translate" that list of names into ID#s that would be great! And don't worry, I'll be patient

Balthgor I can get you the info for Germany and a couple others, but as for most of the EU members they only manufacture components of stallites for the ESA. I will get to work on this later today.

sure, and I'll have to double check when I'm adding since some of these are already set.

I have more time than you, so I'll cross check as many as I can before I send you the info. Space centers are the easy part since they are very limited, however ground tracking facilities are a bit more numerous and I don't know if they're all necissary for the game.

Done.

Your research is not quite complete, many countries with satalites in orbit have either purchased or received assistance with there development, launch and maintenance.
http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_agency

Well according to this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite
This is the list of countries that can launch and separately the ones that can only build(I guess). I didin't found information of the ones that bought them on your link, only the ones that can/can't launch or can/can't operate.
There are discrepancies between the info of the links. =/
Later I'll try to research them all.

This is to help you dig a little deeper. I have some additional info and some govt'l contacts that I will be contacting to get a more narrowed down list tonight. I think that you and I will be able to help Balthgore and BG fix this problem.

have him gather the lat and long cords ingame. Then it would be a simple afair to add the pads into the .CSV

I went through the list of of countries operating satallites and the good news is that we can eliminate 24 of them.

Poland, Bulgarian and Czech Republic use Soviet built INTERCOSMOS satallites.
Kazakhstan uses an Italian Alenia Spazio satallite.
Belarus uses a Russian Energiya satallite.
Venezuela uses a PRC CASC satallite.
Philippines use US Space Systems/Lora 1 satallites.
Egypt, Morocco, and Greece use German DLR/Astrium satallites.
Mexico, Thailand, Malaysia, Norway, UAE, and Indonesia use US Boeing (Hughes) satallites.
Luxembourg, Portugal, Chile, Algeria and Nigeria use British SSTL satellites.
Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam use US Lockheed-Martin satellites.

These nations currently do not have the ability to build or launch any satallites, both Chile and Malaysia have plans to develope an indiginous satallite program but do not currently have the technollogy.

I'm asuming for the production facilities?

Yea, the spot where they would be built and launched. and the control center.
