Over in NationStates, my nation Meche is described as having a keen interest in space and a has a by far greater than average level of scientific advancement, 171 on the scale compared to the average of about 63-64, at the time of this posting. How much of a space program is it reasonable for me to say that my nation already has?

The forum rp is seperate from NS, so you can base your statistics off your own imagination. For example, NS Caelidia doesn't have any interest towards space, while forum Caelidia has had a Space Program since the mid-70s and is about to put a milit- I mean moonbase on the moon.(really it's just a moonbase.)

Wait, so really it isn't that necessary for me to have RPd my space program from the very beginning? Because that is what I did and what i felt best complemented RP?

I would suggest that RPing space programs from the beginning is the way to go. Just saying. ^^

Ok, useful feedback. My next concern though, is can I say that my nation's done some space stuff, and what would be the reasonable limit on that. Satellites? Planetary Probes? Spacewalks? Space Stations? Crewed Moon Mission? I don't imagine that satellites is going too far, but a moon mission or a space station probably would be. I see the value in RPing my way to the more advanced projects, but I'd like to know where precisely the line is drawn, so that I can know what I can assume my starting point is.

I'd go with satellites, perhaps a Lunar probe, then work up to manned missions.

Yeah, I'd definately advise you to slowly build up complextiy, rather than simply jumping in like "Look - I just built me a death star!" It just seems less godmod-y and people know what you're getting at. If you wanted your nation to have an existing space programme, you could say it was abandoned due to budget cuts or something and is being re-activated now; this would give you some groundwork and facilities straight off without looking like you're jumping the gun. Just an idea :P
