Eastern Anterian Space Agency
The United Eastern Space Agency is a united space agency between members of the United Eastern Alliance. It's purpose is to develop, test, launch, and maintain launch and exploration vehicles dedicated for outer space. UESA (pronounced you-sa) began on January 8th, 2021 when the nation of the Trident Union proposed a bill to the UEA Council titled "Proposal: Founding of United Eastern Space Agency". In a few short days, all four member nations of the UEA voted "yes" to pass the bill. Thus, UESA was founded. It's headquarters was constructed in Pinal City of the Union, a large building. Currently, it is developing it's "Sapphire Program", a program to develop and use multiple launch vehicles for an orbit around Anteria.

History
Early Beginning's of Space Travel
Within the member states of UESA, space agencies had been formed years before the united one was made. Three out of the four operated space agencies: The Trident Space Research Organization (TSRO), Hylian Space Agency (HSO), and the recently created Swish Space Agency (SSA) of Swinas. The TSRO was a short-lived agency which received minimal funding. It's main research went into missiles for the Template:Trident Defense Force, which helped create the first missiles of the Union. However, little research into human space flight and orbital flight took place, but it's research helped assist UESA with earlier endeavors into propulsion, aerodynamics, launch, re-entry, and other topics. Meanwhile, the Hylian Space Agency had conducted multiple designs, tests, and even a small rocket launch. It's research was invaluable, and served as the beginning basis of UESA's early small rocket launches. Finally, the Swish Space Agency has been created just days before UESA, meaning it was still beginning it's administration and founding. However, they would still form a part of UESA.
Proposal To Create UESA
Within the Trident Union, talks were taking place within the administration of Template:Jeanne Milgorn regarding the creation of a united space agency with another nation ever since it exited isolationism. But when the United Eastern Alliance was formed, and the Union joined it, the objective shifted from finding an ally to proposing to the alliance. This was even made clear during Milgorn's speech titled "Plan of 2022", in which she said "I'd like to create a united space agency with our alliance, the UEA, which will be beneficial to space research". And thus, the Trident Representatives in the UEA Council were informed about this decision and granted a proposal along with other talking points regarding it. A few weeks later, they presented the proposal to the entire UEA Council. In the UEA Council, home governments spoke to their representatives regarding the proposal, but there was little debate to oppose it. Thus, on January 8th, 2022, UESA was created.
Early Research of UESA
Once UESA was formed, it created a small legislature within itself to make major decisions, formed with the smaller agencies. These agencies all got one vote each, and would vote on separate proposal's similar to the UEA's council. Within this council, multiple decisions were made, including the construction of a headquarters in Template:Pinal City, the election of the first director George Jowcowvf, and administrative details. After a brief period of compiling research from the various agencies, UESA launched the Sapphire Program, a project to create a reliable space launch vehicle to reach anteria orbit by the end of the year. Currently, the Sapphire Program has begun, with research beginning into various topics. The first few months are likely to be like this, with a few small-scale rocket launches to test various systems.
Leadership and Administration
The United Eastern Space Agency operates under a small-scale representative management. It is mainly managed by a council of smaller space agencies, including the Trident Space Research Organization, Hylian Space Agency, Swish Space Agency, and Hainekirk Space Exploration Organization.
Crafts
Experimental Launch Vehicle's
Amélia Rocket
The Amélia Rocket was a small two-staged launch vehicle, the first launch vehicle developed by HSA agency. It was independently designed, tested, and produced by the Hylian Space Agency of Template:Respublica Hyliana. The rocket was mainly designed to test various systems as with most experimental craft's. The craft was a small twenty-five meter two-staged rocket, with a twenty-foot first stage solid rocket booster with LOX fuel. It used three "Jeter 9" rocket boosters, capable of taking the rocket on a sub-orbital flight path. The rocket was controlled by a flight computer, not capable of human-rated flights. It's payload was a small three ton's, which was rarely used at full capacity. Rather, the rocket usually carried scientific equipment or had various additions to it so to test systems and capabilities. The last stage was seperation of the payload into space, and in later Amélia launches, a recovery system of parachutes was put into place. The first launch, titled Amélia 1, took place before the formation of UESA. The Hylian Space Agency conducted the launch, their maiden flight of the launch vehicle. However, it ended in failure when the rocket veered off course and crashed. The second launch, Amélia 2, was a resounding success for UESA and the HSA, with the launch vehicle crossing the Karman Line. This was the first time a UESA rocket reached this height, a major success. The third launch, Amélia 3, likely will be a test of new RCS (reaction control system) and recovery systems designed by both Swish Space Agency (parachute) and the Trident Space Research Organization (TRSO). Overall, Amélia Rocket's were a major success for UESA, and the first major vehicle of the agencies early days.
Rijgaba Launch Vehicle
The Rijgaba Launch Vehicle was a small two-staged launch vehicle, a larger experimental rocket capable of reaching sub-orbital flight. Primarily created by research from multiple agencies, but mainly from the Trident Space Research Organization, this was a more powerful rocket to experiment systems and designs. The craft was also small, about forty meters in height. Like Amélia, it used LOX fuel, though other fuel types were mixed it. Four new "Rkyaba G4" was equipped on the first stage of the vehicle. The first stage was a large booster, in reality a heavily modified ballistic missile. After multiple Amélia flights, it was equipped with multiple systems including RCS, Parachutes, heat shield's, and a a capsule being developed (the
