And anti-satellite missiles...
I would put these techs after IRBM / ICBM and they would come in two different types. Geosynchronous orbit would provide permanent visibility for a region of the globe of the player's choosing. The area covered would depend upon tech level and so too would the level of detail. For instance basic inf should not be visible though ships certainly would and tanks etc at higher techs. Could also give smallish bonusses to forces fighting on the ground covered to represent improved comms and recon.
The other type would be low earth orbit. These would provide a lower quality of intel but wibble diagonally around the globe, as they do in real life, giving a small window into whatever happened to be occuring on the ground. Again with the detail determined by tech level.
Clearly higher order ASF, SAMs, frigates and TDS should be able to shoot these down.
