Innospace Tests The Launch Of Its New Rocket At The Alcântara Launch Center, Due To The Excellent Infrastructure

Brazil is a country with many potentialities, among which is the Alcântara Launch Center, located in the state of Maranhão, which has caught the attention of the South Korean company, Innospace. Due to the extensive infrastructure, the South Korean private company chose the Brazilian base to test the launch of its first rocket in development.

The statement about this partnership came from the president of the Brazilian Space Agency (AEB), Carlos Moura, this Friday (17). Innospace is already known for seeking greater price accessibility for satellites in various locations around the planet and now wants to expand the market with its new rocket. The test is scheduled for December and will make history. Get more details in today’s article.

Brazil Is Interested In Launching Small Satellites, Making The Partnership Very Beneficial For Both Countries

You may wonder: why will the South Korean agency come to launch in Brazil? Because our country is interested in performing future launches of small satellites, which is a specialty of Innospace. Thus, Brazil sought a partnership for the company to test its rocket at the Alcântara base, allowing for fuel savings so it can reach orbit more quickly, due to its proximity to the equator.

The South Korean Innospace is just one of many global companies that are closing agreements to use the Alcântara launch base for rocket launches. The Canadian company C6 Launch Systems already has authorization to operate in our territory and plans a launch for 2023.

Additionally, Virgin Orbit from the United States has also received a license to operate in Brazil and will use the Alcântara base to take off the Boeing 747, testing rockets and low orbit satellites. On the other hand, Orion AST from the United States also aimed to use the base but did not make progress in its research on space debris collection, which was the company’s focus.

So, Who Is Innospace?

Innospace is a start-up famous in South Korea for seeking innovations in low orbit launches. The company focuses on sustainability and executing aerospace activities at low cost. It is one of the pioneering companies seeking hybrid propulsion for rockets and small satellites with a space operator license from AEB to promote launches in Alcântara.

The president of AEB, Carlos Moura, also highlights the importance of this partnership with the South Korean start-up for Brazil’s advancement.

The Alcântara Spaceport has conditions to accommodate various activities related to space activity, which go beyond placing satellites into Earth’s orbit. In this case, we have the exemplary situation where both a vehicle and an inertial system, both in development, will be tested. We are sure that this initiative from DCTA and INNOSPACE will inaugurate a new chapter in our history of access to space.
