The Serpens Land Space Agency (SLSA) (pronounced as "Salsa") is the national space agency of Serpens Land. It is responsible for overseeing all space-related activities in Serpens Land. The Serpens Land Space Agency collaborates with other space agencies in the Western Isles on larger projects. The Serpens Land Space Agency is responsible to the Ministry of Science and Technology, a ministry in the Serpens Land government.
Serpens Land space research can trace it's roots back to the end of the Imperial War. These small, but important projects were the stepping stones of the modern Serpens Land space program. Between 1952 and 1957, Serpens Land researchers conducted multiple unmanned launches into Earth's upper atmosphere. In 1957, because of a coup led by General Allard, a halt was put on all space research in Serpens Land. Some work continued however, under the disguise of military research. It was during this time that the Aether sounding rocket was developed. Aether is still in use with the Serpens Land Space Agency to this day. Collaborations between Serpens Land and the Alteran National Space Agency (ANSA) began in 1974, and in 1983, Serpens land launched their first satalite: Avenger I aboard an ANSA rocket.
In 1987, the Serpens Land Space Agency was formally established by the Serpens Land government. This was due to the rapid increase of Serpens Land space-related activities. Currently, the Serpens Land Space Agency does not have lauch capabilities beyond upper atmospheric sounding rockets. The Serpens Land Space Agency relies heavily on the Alteran Republics and Corindia for actually launching Serpens Land spacecraft into orbit.
