text: countries with space missions?   if you mean manned space programmes then only the us, russia and china are the sole members of that club. india has declared its intentions to launch humans into space and china has said that they are going to the moon! there is also space adventures which became the first private company to fly into space but that flight wasn´t even comparable to the first us space flight which didn´t even reach orbit. space adventures is a us company although richard branson (an englishman) owns a stake in it know.
