SpekeX Aeronautics, commonly known as "SpekeX", is a private aerospace and aeronautic company headquartered in the eastern city of Wielek, Speke. The company is known for its contributions to the development and advancement of aerospace and aeronautic technologies, particularly in the areas of reusable rocketry and electric aircraft. In addition to these ventures, SpekeX also produces drones for military use.
History
In 2002, SpekeX was founded. It started with the idea of colonizing Stratos. Stratos, at the moment, has no biological life although the prescense of water might say otherwise.

Goals & Programs
SpekeX has a goal to launch around 600 Orbitlink Satellites into Low Earth Orbit around Anteria. At the moment, they have launched 120 satellites. 2 imaging satellites purchased from 2 nations in Anteria have also been sent into space to monitor the situation during the possible outbreak of the Assumptarian-Plattinian War. Speke's government has ordered to send 4 spy satellites over the combantant nations to monitor the situation with a resolution of 2cm per pixel.
Orbitlink
SpekeX has planned to launch 2000 Orbitlink Satellites into LEO to provide fast internet speeds across Anteria with extremly low latencys. Users in the Beta testing program have been satisfied with the results, speeds reaching up to 1GBPS download speeds and 780MBPS upload. The technology is set to be used on aircraft too, to provide internet in the air.
Anterian Space Station
The Anterian Space Station (ASS) is a proposed space station which is being designed, meant for use by Anterian nations. The project is being developed by SpekeX at the moment, with no countries showing interest at the moment.
Achievements
In 2021, SpekeX made history by launching a rover to Stratos using the Valk 9 Rocket. The rover successfully landed on Stratos and has been conducting vital science experiments on the planet since its arrival. This mission marked a significant milestone for both SpekeX and the field of space exploration.
Criticism
SpekeX received criticism for a few reasons, one being Orbitlink's visibility during the night sky. A train of satellites is almost visible every night across Anterian skys at a magnitude of around 3.2
