INNOSPACE<\/strong><\/strong>, a South Korean private spaceflight startup producing small satellite launch vehicles, announced that it has signed new launch service agreements with the <\/strong>Federal University of Maranh\u00e3o (UFMA)<\/strong> and <\/strong>Castro Leite Consultoria LTDA (CLC)<\/strong> for a rideshare launch mission on its \u2018HANBIT-Nano<\/strong><\/strong>\u2019 launch vehicle from the Alc\u00e2ntara Space Center in Brazil, scheduled for the first half of 2025.<\/p>\n The mission will deploy picosatellites developed by DARTilab and BAITES, both Brazilian research institutes participating in the project through a contract signed with UFMA, which is leading the Alc\u00e2ntara Scientists Project in the state of Maranh\u00e3o, Brazil.<\/p>\n \u201cThe partnership with INNOSPACE for the launch of the picosatellite is a historic milestone, which will provide the residents of Alc\u00e2ntara with the unique opportunity to actively participate in the advancement of science and space exploration. We are excited because with this undertaking we highlight the importance of inclusion and respect for local communities in large-scale projects that drive technological progress, as well as encourage community unity and pride. We hope that this initiative will motivate the young people of Alc\u00e2ntara and contribute to the emergence of new opportunities for knowledge in the region,\u201d said UFMA.<\/p>\n Under this agreement, INNOSPACE\u2019s HANBIT-Nano will carry onboard the payload, an inertial system being developed by CLC, an engineering consulting service provider specialized in aerospace, defense, and inertial systems with a decade of experience in Brazil.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s an excellent opportunity to qualify our products for a space flight. This will add value to both our equipment and the means of testing,\u201d said CLC.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s very meaningful to be selected by Brazilian customers, as this mission will be INNOSPACE\u2019s first commercial launch and the maiden flight of its HANBIT-Nano rocket after successfully launching our first test launch vehicle, HANBIT-TLV, from the Alc\u00e2ntara Space Center in Brazil on March 19, 2023 (BRT),\u201d said Soojong Kim<\/strong>, founder and CEO of INNOSPACE. \u201cINNOSPACE\u2019s priority for HANBIT is to support customers who share an innovative vision for space, and we are proud to offer them with the launch services required to achieve their objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" INNOSPACE, a South Korean private spaceflight startup producing small satellite launch vehicles, announced that it has signed new launch service agreements with the Federal University of Maranh\u00e3o (UFMA) and Castro Leite Consultoria LTDA (CLC) for a rideshare launch mission on its \u2018HANBIT-Nano\u2019 launch vehicle from the Alc\u00e2ntara Space Center in Brazil, scheduled for the first […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[26,25,20],"class_list":["post-6857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ground","tag-launch","tag-satellite"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6857"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6857\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
