Possibly based on early military missile technology, the Hyperbola-1 launch vehicle is 24 meters long, 1.4 meters in diameter, and has a launch mass of 42,000 kg. It is an all-solid four-stage launch vehicle with liquid fuel guided attitude control engines.<\/p>\n
The vehicle can launch 300 kg into a 500 km SSO. The Hyperbola-1 used on the inaugural launch on July 25, 2019, had an overall length of 20,8 meters and a launch mass of 31,000 kg.<\/p>\n
Before its second orbital try, i-Space achieved three successful launches in less than two years. The first flight was a suborbital rocket, and the Hyperbola-1S, launched on April 5, 2018.<\/p>\n
The second flight was a commercial sub-orbital rocket, Hyberbola-1Z, launched on September 5, 2018, from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, carrying three small payloads. The third flight was Hyberbola-1 (Y1), which sent two satellites into orbit on July 25, 2019.<\/p>\n
With this launch, the Beijing Interstellar Glory Space Technology Co., Ltd was the first Chinese private company to successfully send satellites into orbit. Simultaneously, the company had already completed the 200s-full-system test of a reusable liquid oxygen\/methane rocket engine in July 2019.

The company will develop medium and heavy reusable launch vehicles in the near future, providing launching services to global satellite customers.<\/p>\nFor this launch the outer fuselage was covered with the artistic creations of the contemporary artist Xu Bing named the rocket \u201cXu Bing Tianshu.\u201d Also, inside the fairing was a metal cube representing Xu Bing\u2019s art, \u201cThe Book of the Sky.\u201d<\/p>\n
On-board the second Hyperbola-1 was the small CubeSat-6U Fangzhou-2 (\u2018Ark-2\u2019) satellite. The satellite\u2019s mission was to serve as a verification platform for technologies to be used on future Fanzghou series of small and medium returnable spacecraft developed by Beijing Space Ark Space Technology Co., Ltd. (SPACE ARK).<\/p>\n
