Royal Cryrian Space Agency: Difference between revisions

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 ArrowWave, which ultimately sold 60% of its shares to the Cryrian government.

=== Ezethla's Arrow Launch Vehicle ===

The Ezethla's Arrow 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's Arrow 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's Arrow. Ezethla's Arrow has also been made available for commercial and experimental launches facilitated by the RCSA.

==== Ocean's ArrowWave ====

Ocean's ArrowWave 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.
