Hi Bob!
I am not sure if they are even available any more, but the USSR
used to
have something called the COSMOS award, and the JARL had the FUJI award.. also the South Africans had a nice award for 20 QSOs
through the
LEOs.. no idea where to even begin looking for info on these now
or even
if they are still awarded.
Can't speak to the COSMOS award, but the other two you mentioned are still available. The South African award is now handled by AMSAT-NA:

JARL issues the Fuji award, at:
http://www.jarl.or.jp/English/4_Library/A-4-2_Awards/Award_Main.htm
I was able to have a JARL card checker take my application and fee payment for the award at Dayton last year. JARL didn't have any of those certificates at Dayton, so JARL mailed the certificate to me a couple of weeks later. A nice certificate.
One of these days, I'll get around to writing out my application for a satellite VUCC. I've got at least 350 grids confirmed at home, and have not used my free time to deal with that application. More time for radio and writing out QSL cards.
73!
