Space agency
No dedicated space agency
Brunei Darussalam has no national space agency. Published here until 2026-08-20 as "AAET (Angkasa Brunei)", which corresponds to no Brunei body: the ministry that would hold the portfolio lists its departments publicly and no such agency is among them. This is the third invented institution found on this platform, after the Qatar Space Agency and the UzSat-1 satellite.
