In Arcerion, ANSEA is responsible for publishing a memorandum to the Confederate Parliament on an annual basis and upon its approval, to ensure it is enacted within the confines of the budget and provisions set out by the federal government. ANSEA also has a Budgetary office which works closely with the Treasury Office and Ministry of Finance to regulating bidding on spaceflight projects and capital procurements for spaceflight in Arcerion. | In Arcerion, ANSEA is responsible for publishing a memorandum to the Confederate Parliament on an annual basis and upon its approval, to ensure it is enacted within the confines of the budget and provisions set out by the federal government.

ANSEA's main headquarters is in the Northern Arco city of Presdale, with two smaller stations, the National Arcerion Space Observatory (NASO) in Foxhey Governorate, and the Chester Space Centre in Southern Arcerion, which assists with launch vehicle recovery and some unmanned/manned spaceflight testing. The ANSEA also maintains relay stations in Stenza (STENZ PLS APPROVE BY DELETING THIS), and the Burgundie-held Equitoreal Ostiecia for radio rebroadcast and satellite communications links. | ANSEA's main headquarters is in the Northern Arco city of Presdale, with two smaller stations, the National Arcerion Space Observatory (NASO) in Foxhey Governorate, and the Chester Space Centre in Southern Arcerion, which assists with launch vehicle recovery and some unmanned/manned spaceflight testing.

The ANSEA headquarters building was finished construction and operational by the end of 1979. It comprised all the major department heads as well as every major research, development, procurement, operations, and logistics support for the fledgling agency. As yet unnamed, the ''Kinnaird Financial Times'' has speculated that it will likely be dedicated to either Nathan Barnes or Timothy Yves, Arcerion's two most prominent astronauts. | |||
The building itself consists of an atrium and reception hall, a viewing gallery that has line of sight to the Northlea Spaceport, the observation deck which is open to the public on launch days, and four outer 'wings,' labelled A-D. A Wing is comprised of operations and flight staff, and Mission Control is located here, with 24-hour continual support to satellite, manned spaceflight, and launch missions. B Wing is the staff and administrative functions, wherein the Director and Deputy Director reside, as well as Armed Fores liaison officers, and representatives from the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministerial Coordination Element. C Wing is the largest, and is the Reseach, Development, and Manufacturing centre for all Arcer interstellar rocketry and satellite services. A sprawling complex, it is actually several buildings and large manufacturing halls centralized in its own nearby complex, and employs almost half of the total engineers, scientists, academics, military personnel, and supporting staff/bureaucrats that make ANSEA function. D Wing is support and logistical services such as financial support, Human Resources, and has a security team that deals with access to both ANSEA headquarters and Northlea Spaceport. | |||

Arcerion maintains two foreign-based Satellite Stations to assist with maintaining communications links but also dually serving as coordinating elements with other nations' space agencies. The first is STS (South), in Northern [[Stenza]], provides coverage for the Polynesian Sea and the Sea and the Sea of Orixtal, as well as serving as the backup Mission Command Centre for spaceflight missions. The tertiary station, but the largest outstation is located in Burgundie-held Equitoreal Ostiecia, and is primarily staffed and operated by members of the Arcer Air Force and Royal Arcerion Naval Service. STS (East) provides coverage for the Odoneru as well as Northern portions of Sarpedon, assisting with the increased maritime traffic between Arcerion and Burgundie that flows through St. Brendan's Strait. | |||

It on average has forty launches a year, the most being in 2017 when there was eighty-seven launches, to coincide with the increased need to salvage parts from aging ARTEMIS platforms and repair the existing constellation, to ensure it functioned until the ARTEMIS II-series was launched. The facility has received continuous upgrades and is both used trilaterally, ANSEA using it for civilian space launches and spaceflight, CRONASAT leasing launch pads and supporting facilities for its own launches and maintenance, and the Arcer military using it as a testing ground to launch both Land-Attack Cruise Missiles as well as newer types of Surface-to-Air missiles. | ||
Northlea Spaceport's has two 'Terminals,' those being 'U' Terminal and "M" terminal, respectively meaning unmanned and manned spaceflight. The U-side of the campus is significantly larger due to Arcerion's limited ability to sustain manned spaceflight, with the M side being used infrequently and only when there is assigned FRONTIER missions.
