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