It's European Counterpart is the European Space Agency (ESA) It's Japanese counterpart is the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) It's Indian counterpart is the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)
IKAROS stands for Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation Of the Sun. It is a space exploration mission by JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) that successfully deployed a solar sail in space to demonstrate propulsion using solar radiation pressure.
No. BepiColombo [to be launched in 2014 by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)] will orbit Mercury in 2020, and possibly dispatch a landing vehicle. Mercury has no atmosphere, so landing on it isn't as easy as simply deploying a parachute as was the case with Titan (Saturn's largest moon). The BepiColombo Mercury Surface Element (MSE) has been canceled due to budget constraints.

Astronauts are chosen by the various space agencies around the world. Examples include NASA in America, or the China National Space Administration or the European Space Agency or Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and many others. Within these agencies there would be people in charge of astronauts which would include things like recruiting astronauts and training them.
