SPASEK, short for Space Sekidean, is the national space agency of the Sekidean Union. The agency was founded on May 6, 2012, which marked the tenth anniversary of SpekeX, one of the contributing space agencies. The idea for a united space organization was proposed by the three agencies of Speke, Kentalis and Zhousheng in an effort to collaborate and pool resources.

SPASEK is responsible for the operation of the Sekidean Low Altitude Orbit Station (SLAOS) and the Polus program, a space exploration initiative aimed at sending the first humans to Stratos by 2030. In addition to its primary goals, SPASEK also conducts research in a variety of fields, including meteorology and earth observation. The agency works closely with international partners and is a member of organizations such as the United Anterian Space Agency (UASA), which facilitate cooperation and collaboration on space-related endeavors. Overall, SPASEK plays a vital role in shaping the future of space exploration and research in the Sekidean Union.

Speke

Wielek Launch Complex

The Wielek Launch Complex, located a short distance north of the capital city of Sczolisziń and east of the industrial city of Wielek, where SpekeX is headquartered, is Speke's primary launch facility. Originally built as an airport known as the Wielek Regional Airport, it was purchased by SpekeX in 2002 and underwent significant renovations to become a launch site for rockets and spacecraft. Since then, the complex has undergone several upgrades to accommodate larger and more powerful rockets and now serves as one of the primary facilities for SPASEK, the national space agency of the Sekidean Union. In addition to serving as a launch site, the Wielek Launch Complex also houses the headquarters of SPASEK.

Prei Meas

Kanchanatang Launch Complex

The Kanchanatang Launch Complex is a facility located south of the city of Kanchanatang at the tip of the peninsula. Originally built as an airforce base in the 1970s, the complex was repurposed in 2002 by the Prei Meas Space Program (KAPM) to serve as a launch site for rockets and spacecraft. In order to prepare the complex for its new role, the KAPM invested in renovations and upgrades, including the construction of new launch pads and support facilities.

In 2005, a rocket suffered a catastrophic failure during a test flight, causing significant damage to the complex. The KAPM had to rebuild much of the facility in order to restore it to operational status. Since its reconstruction, the Kanchanatang Launch Complex has been used as a primary launch site for both small and large rockets. The complex also houses the headquarters of the KAPM, where the agency's scientists and engineers work on space exploration efforts.

Torvon

Palača Bogov Royal Space Center

The Royal Aeronautics and Space Agency is located at the Palača Bogov Royal Space Center, just outside of the Capital City of Torvon. This is the main site of the agency and is responsible for the exploration, research, and development of space-related technology and capabilities. This includes launching and operating satellites, conducting research on celestial bodies and phenomena, developing new space exploration technologies, and collaborating with international space agencies on various space-related projects.

The Palača Bogov Royal Space Center is equipped with a 9000 meter runway that serves as an emergency runway for military and civilian jets. In 1992, the space center experienced a disaster when an employee accidentally drove over a fuel line, causing an explosion that took the lives of 56 people. After a thorough investigation and a vote by the public to continue the space program, the facility fully reopened in 1999 and now houses a museum that showcases the history of the space center and agency, as well as honors those who were lost in the pursuit of space exploration.

In addition to its role as a launch site, the Palača Bogov Royal Space Center also serves as a hub for research and development of space-related technologies. It is a key player in the advancement of aerospace and aeronautic capabilities, both within the Sekidean Union and on a global scale.

SLAOS

Main article: SLAOS

The Sekidean Low Altitude Orbit Station (SLAOS) is a space station that was launched and has been operated by the space agency of the Sekidean Union, SPASEK, since 1999. One of the most notable events that occurred onboard SLAOS was the first-ever station-to-station spaceflight, which was conducted in an emergency situation. On May 9th, 2007, the laboratory module of the space station experienced a sudden loss of pressure, requiring an emergency transfer of the crew to another station. Despite the unforeseen challenges, the crew was able to safely evacuate and make the necessary repairs to restore the station's operations. The incident demonstrated the capabilities of the space station and the professionalism of the team responsible for its operation.
