The equipment of the Royal Pelinese Space Force consists of a broad selection of space and counterspace systems, such as satellites, suborbital vehicles, launch vehicles, space surveillance radars, tracking systems, and co-orbital anti-satellite weapons. Equipment utilized by the Pelinese Aerospace Security Forces, which provide base security, force protection, and quick reaction forces for RPSF installations, is listed here.

Satellites

Mission Designer Number active Orbit
ASCENT
Reconnaissance  Pelinai 7 identified Low orbit
Classified electro-optical surveillance satellite array; first known example launched in 2008. Believed to employ spectral imaging observation capabilities, as well as limited low-observability techniques.
Dāldā (Shelter) Array
Missile defense  Pelinai 24 Geosynchronous orbit
Core space-based ballistic missile launch detection and tracking system of the RPSF; first activated in 2014 and reached full operating capability in 2022.
Military Weather/Oceanographic Satellite Array
Weather monitoring  Pelinai 6 Low orbit
Multifunction weather observation satellite complex first launched in 2000; monitors meteorological, oceanographic, and other environmental conditions information relevant to the execution of military operations.
Multifunction Navigation Satellite System
Navigation support  Pelinai 32 Medium orbit
Primary satellite navigation system utilized by Pelinese military, government, and civilian entities; operational since 2012. Though available for civilian navigation purposes, MNSS satellites are designed, launched, and operated under the RPSF.
Radar Maritime Surveillance Satellite
Reconnaissance  Pelinai 17 Low orbit
Synthetic-aperture radar satellite array placed into service from 2006; used for surveilling maritime traffic, particularly the movements of military vessels. RAMASU satellites are uniquely powered by OLIVINE 7kW liquid metal-cooled fast neutron reactors, which provide additional power for radar systems and reduce atmospheric drag relative to solar-based systems.
Standby Orbital Counterspace Array
Satellite destruction  Pelinai ~32-37 Medium and low orbit
Partially undisclosed satellite program with ASAT purposes; believed to have been first launched alongside an MNSS satellite in 2017. Kill vehicles are co-orbital in nature and utilize kinetic and/or explosive means of destroying target platforms.

Name Type Origin Notes
Fixed installations
Co-Orbital Disabling Vehicle System ASAT weapon  Pelinai Co-orbital ASAT system for interception of satellites above low orbit; located in fixed silos.
CONSTELLATION Space monitoring radar  Pelinai S-band multi-site radar system used to detect and track objects in space up to geosynchronous orbit.
Mobile systems
Z47K Demantoid ASAT missile  Pelinai Road-mobile direct-ascent counterspace weapon for use against low-orbiting satellites and similar targets.
