The RCSA's satellite support program broadly falls into four series in the 21st century. RCSA equipment is commonly named after ancient Talveri myths and deities, in homage to the University of Talvere's long and prestigious history as well as the role it played in Cryria's early space efforts. Much of the equipment used by the RCSA is designed and built in cooperation with the Cryrian defense industry, particularly aerospace manufacturer Örn AB. |

The Vhioge series of satellites was first launched in 2003. Unlike Mhuilka, it is purely for military gathering purposes. Vhioge is a Low-Urth Orbit constellation of reconnaissance satellites that debuted due to the growing need for improved regional intelligence gathering systems amidst the highly fluid Volscine Civil War. The original system has since seen significant advancements and subsequent launches. While precise capabilities remain classified, it likely contains payloads to provide optical reconnaissance for the CDF and CID. Vhioge suffered serious disruptions due to the Space Debris Crisis, but has since been replenished. |

The Griot series of communication satellites was first launched in 1996. The geosynchronous constellation facilitates military and commercial operations. Access to the system's capabilities have notably been purchased by the government of [[Älemsi Negdel]] in order to support communications across the vast and underdeveloped nation, and this move heralded the RCSA's increased openness to providing its capabilities to foreign governments and organizations in order to defray costs and build relationships. |

==== Mizurc Satellite Series ==== |

Mizurc is a purely commercial variant of the Mhuilka series launched in 2006, and is used for general Urth-observation purposes. The system garnered some controversy when imaging was purchased from private operators by the government of [[Serramal]] to target insurgent bases within the country. |
