Space

FASA is finally starting to say a little about space in SR. From assorted comments sprinkled throughout many books, it appears that there are quite a few stations in orbit around the earth. Most of these are small and all of them are corporate.

Reference to many colonies and habitats: Neo-Anarchist's Guide to Real Life, pg 26.
Flights from Pueblo to orbital stations: Native American Nations Volume One, pg 105.

AresSpace has five orbitals, with a sixth on the way, and two bases on the moon (cd.39). The also have a habitat in solar orbit (yotc.14)
Saeder-Krup has as many orbital factories as Ares has orbital habitats (cd.86). One of these orbitals is called Himmelsschmiede (yotc.15).
Mitsuhama develops robots for deep space (cd.61).
Fuchi Orbital is owned by Novatech (cd.70). Novatech has several orbital habitats (two of them major) and multiple satellite networks (yotc.16). One of these orbitals is called Darkside Junction and another (a reasearch station) is called Camelot (yotc.16).
Renraku's space efforts boosted "from feeble to merely mediocre" (cd.80).
Saeder-Krupp is only corp to have lunar mining operations (cd.86). SK also has large number of satellites (cd.87).
Background count increases as you ascend into space (mits.86).
Yamatetsu owns the Angel Satellite Constellation (tm.8-9). The also own the Shibanokuji orbital resort (yotc.18).
The Asgard satellite acts as a data haven/auction house (tm.35-37).
There is a successor to the Hubble, the Hubble II (yotc.10).
Some orbitals are open to civilians (yotc.13).
Proteus is secretly building a station at the L1 LaGrange point (yotc.16).
Aztechnology contracted Shibata to run their Spindle habitat (yotc.17).
