Declension of Acronyms in Written and Spoken Russian

I'd be grateful if fellow SEELANGtsy could provide some examples of acronyms that decline, in either spoken or written Russian.

The one I'm most familiar with, of course, is ЦУП (TsUP), Mission Control Center, and which yields usages such as в ЦУПе (v TsUPe) and от ЦУПа (ot TsUPa).

What I'm interested in finding out from the examples is to get a better sense of which kinds of acronyms will decline.  So far, it seems that those that do all end in consonants and are spoken as words, but I'm curious to see a wider range of examples from non-aerospace sources.

Many thanks,
Tony Vanchu
