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.

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.

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.

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.
