The Sedunnic Space Agency (Sedunnic: Sedunnō Veser Onne'is, SVO) is the national aerospace and space agency agency in Sedunn operating under the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation. SVO is responsible for research, technology development and launch of satellites into orbit, and is involved in many more advanced missions in cooperation with the CPSC. Its motto is "Further".
It was founded in 1960, three years after the CPSC to better manage Sedunnic interests in space and to coordinate domestic civilian aerospace and space industries and research. It collaborates extensively with the Teleresources branch of the Sedunnic Armed Forces and the Sedunnic Weather and Climate Institute.
Sedunn has facilities in Stavaed to launch satellites into orbit, but due to its location far from the equator, domestic rocket launches are rare and are nowadays mostly limited to purely military missions. The SVO is responsible for the training of Sedunnic astronauts.
FY 2020 the SVO had a budget of $573 million. The majority of the Sedunnic government funds allotted to space exploration goes to the CPSC.
