giftdetect· the right gift in minutesSouth Korean private launch company Innospace has set November 29 as the target date for the follow-up test flight of its multipurpose suborbital rocket SEBIT, the company said on Monday. The launch will take place at the Alcântara Launch Center in Brazil.
The launch window runs for 26 days, from November 16 to December 11 in Brazilian time. The final date and time will be decided within that period, depending on weather and launch preparations on site. According to the company, the schedule was confirmed after consultations with Brazilian bodies including ALADA, the air force (FAB) and the space agency (AEB).
What SEBIT is
SEBIT is being developed to commercialize suborbital test and validation launch services. It is a single-stage vehicle powered by a hybrid rocket engine with about 4 tonnes of thrust, measuring 8.7 meters in length and 0.7 meters in diameter.
The rocket is designed to carry payloads to altitudes of up to 100 kilometers, where customers can test and validate technologies in high-altitude and microgravity conditions or run scientific research missions.
Second attempt after an early cutoff
The flight follows SEBIT's first launch from Alcântara on August 20, when the mission ended early during flight. Innospace will use the launch operations period at Alcântara that was allocated this year to its small-satellite launcher HANBIT-Nano for the new attempt.
For Innospace, the relaunch is a chance to show that SEBIT can complete a full flight profile, a prerequisite for selling test-flight services to commercial and research customers.
