The League of Concerned Businesses of Marker's Pride would like to announce that our member GreenCorp has begun the process of selling our Space technology to outside nations. They have 3 basic models, and customizations are by request, which we will glady do, provided you pay a 500 million dollar fee for a change in the plans, and the cost of the equipment you want upgraded. All Satellites are delivered as is, lauch mechanisms (Rockets, shuttles, et. al) are up to the purchasing nation, although we will manufacture it in a process that allows it to be attached to any launch vehicle, provided you give us information about the loading/docking mechanisms we must attach to.

StrikeSat:
Small (in terms of size), nimble satellite, notable because it is lauched with a large supply of fuel for quick manuvering. It contains a titanium sheild at one end with a sharp tip, allowing you to use it to ram and punch holes in multiple targets in space (other satellites or manned vehicles). The StrikeSat has fuel tanks for 1 weeks worth of manuvering, weighs 2 metric tonnes, and is controlled remotely from the ground.
Cost=$600 million

SpySat mark IV:
Massive satellite, but weighs the same as the strike sat. Has 2 'wings' and has room to mount 12 independantly targeted cameras of any type that the purchaser wishes. Available in 2 models, an orbital, which weighs slightly more as it has fuel to make course corrections, and a geosynchrosys model, which is lighter and only has fuel to achieve it's paticular orbit.
Cost=$850 million

SimBot Mark II 'Acid Rain'
Relatively small satellite, but with 4 massive solar collectors. This satellite solves the traditional space laser-to-ground problem of air diffusion and refraction by avoiding lasers altogether. It collects solar power, converts it to microwave, and fires the microwave beam wherever you want, devestaing whatever it hits. Recharge time is 7 sun-hours. Can not be used when the earth is between it and the sun.
Cost=$1.5 Billion
