==== Mizurc Satellite Series ====
Mizurc is a purely commercial variant of the Vhioge series built independently by Örn AB and launched in 2006. It is used for general Urth-observation purposes, and like Vhioge the program suffered significantly from the Space Debris Crisis. The system garnered some further controversy when imaging was purchased from private operators by the government of [[Serramal]] to target insurgent bases within the country.

==== National Space Observatory Center ====
The National Space Observatory Center(NSOC) is a facility owned and operated by the University of Talvere, though it receives some funding and support from the RCSA. Initially founded in 1970, it is in many ways the birthplace of the Cryrian space program. It houses a total of three telescopes, and today is primarily used to study Near-Urth Objects and minor planets. NSOC has been credited with the discovery of over twenty asteroids in the Teplar system. The observatory also has ongoing projects to monitor Active Galactic Nuclei and star formations, as well as continuing searches for supernovae and extrasolar planets.
==== Lielsta Cosmic Radiation Station ====
The Lielsta Cosmic Radiation Station(LCRS) was established in 1997 and is a facility directly owned and operated by the RCSA, though it has close ties to the University of Talvere. It is utilized to monitory meteorological and space phenomena. This includes solar flares and magnetic storms that can pose potential hazards to the satellite program. LCRS is based in the Cryrian Highlands.
