=== Space Debris Crisis ===
=== Space Debris Crisis ===
Like the rest of the world's space programs, the RCSA was subjected to a three-year moratorium when a botched Vakari launch resulted in the Space Debris Crisis. During this period, much of the RCSA's annual budget was temporarily reallocated towards keeping private space enterprises afloat during the dry period. This was particularly important for the continued solvency of Ocean's Arrow, which ultimately sold 60% of its shares to the Cryrian government.

=== Ezethla Launch Vehicle ===
=== Ezethla's Arrow Launch Vehicle ===
The Ezethla is a series of launch vehicles that serves as the primary workhorse of the RCSA. Initially a variant of Cryria's cancelled ballistic missile program, the Ezethla has since developed considerably and is the RCSA's independent means of placing objects in orbit. All variants of the launchers have developed and assembled in the Kingdom by Tarva Defense Systems, and most of the RCSA's launches have been conducted utilizing Ezethla. Ezethla has also been made available for commercial and experimental launches facilitated by the RCSA.

The RCSA also operates a second, much smaller spaceport near Karlin. This location was originally home to the CDF's ballistic missile projects, and has since been converted for the space program's use. Due to its very high latitude, Karlin Spaceport is useful only for high inclination and Rotantic orbits. These Molniya orbits offer longer dwell times over the hemisphere of interest, and as such Karlin remains in use for a variety of programs.

==== Ocean's Wave ====
Ocean's Arrow is a company founded in 1995 to provide orbital launch services. The Tarva-based corporation is majority-owned by the Cryrian government, and distinguishes itself by using a mobile maritime launch platform to facilitate optimal equatorial launches for countries and entities that otherwise lacked access to sites in that region.
