Looking pretty good.
I kinda liked the letters idea, though European Space Agency is a little specific... I usualy just use a letter and number military designation, like M(for mars) P (for plane) 5 (I think it'd take at least 4 prototypes before you got a working model
) B (a secondary variant) to give MP5B.
Actualy for designations I've been thinking that even though all the civs are seperate much of thier technology would be shared between them, so many designs would have similar designations. The same with earth.
I think KA is a good general designation for martian tech, It's an old work for mars and many old earth languages share the same letters in thier names for Mars.
For planes you'd want an extra letter to avoid confusion perhaps an F (for flier). Dirigible would be B for balloon. An alternative for numbering would be to have ground vehicles numbered with even numbers (KA2, KA6, KA44 etc...) and fliers numbered with odd numbers (KAF3, KAF7, KAB33 etc...).
Ummm.. perhaps this is getting a bit over complicated for design purposes but I like to be thorough...
