SEBIT First Test Flight: Results Update INNOSPACE conducted the first test flight of its multipurpose suborbital rocket ‘SEBIT’ at 16:30 on August 19 (BRT, UTC-3) at the Alcântara Space Center (CLA) in Brazil. SEBIT ignited and lifted off normally from INNOSPACE’s own launch pad. During the flight, however, a deviation from the planned trajectory was detected. In accordance with the launch center’s safety regulations, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) activated the Flight Termination System (FTS) to terminate the flight early. The rocket came down within a designated maritime safety zone, with no injuries or property damage reported. The test flight was conducted in cooperation with ALADA, a Brazilian state-owned company established to expand the commercial use of the country’s aerospace infrastructure. While we regret that the planned flight could not be fully completed, the test flight provided valuable flight data from key systems, including the launch pad, propulsion system, and guidance, navigation and control (GNC). We sincerely thank everyone who has shown deep interest in and supported INNOSPACE’s challenge, and we regret that the planned flight could not be completed. We also extend our deepest appreciation to ALADA, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), and all INNOSPACE team members who worked closely and tirelessly throughout the launch campaign. The data and experience secured from this flight will provide an important foundation for SEBIT’s performance improvement and further development. INNOSPACE will thoroughly analyze the secured data to identify the cause and reflect the findings in subsequent procedures and improvements, continuously enhancing SEBIT’s flight performance, reliability, and operational stability. Once again, we sincerely thank everyone for your continued interest in and support for SEBIT. #SEBIT #Space #Rocket #Suborbital #SpaceLaunch #Aerospace #NewSpace

South Korea–Brazil Space Cooperation Enters a New Phase 🇰🇷🇧🇷 On July 27, South Korea and Brazil signed a Space Cooperation MOU during the Korea–Brazil summit, strengthening collaboration across the space sector, including the simplification of launch procedures for Korean companies using Brazilian launch sites.🤝 In December 2025, INNOSPACE marked Korea’s first commercial space launch from Brazil’s Alcântara Space Center with HANBIT-Nano. This milestone became a foundation for expanding cooperation between the two countries and advancing a more efficient launch environment. By reducing administrative barriers and improving launch accessibility, this agreement is expected to create a more predictable pathway for commercial space launches. Building on our experience at Alcântara Space Center, INNOSPACE will continue to expand international launch opportunities and deliver reliable space access for customers around the world. 🌎 ✦ ✦ ✦ A cooperação espacial entre Coreia do Sul e Brasil entra em uma nova fase 🇰🇷🇧🇷 No dia 27 de julho, a Coreia do Sul e o Brasil assinaram um Memorando de Entendimento (MOU) sobre cooperação espacial durante a Cúpula Coreia–Brasil, fortalecendo a colaboração no setor espacial, incluindo a simplificação dos procedimentos de lançamento para empresas coreanas que utilizam centros de lançamento brasileiros. 🤝 Em dezembro de 2025, a INNOSPACE realizou, a partir do Centro Espacial de Alcântara, o primeiro lançamento espacial comercial da Coreia com o HANBIT-Nano. Esse marco estabeleceu uma base importante para ampliar a cooperação entre os dois países e promover um ambiente de lançamento mais eficiente. Ao reduzir barreiras administrativas e aprimorar o acesso aos lançamentos, essa cooperação contribuirá para um caminho mais previsível e eficiente para futuros lançamentos espaciais comerciais. Com a experiência adquirida no Centro Espacial de Alcântara, a INNOSPACE continuará expandindo oportunidades de lançamento global e oferecendo acesso confiável ao espaço para clientes em todo o mundo. 🌎 #SpaceLaunch #Brazil #CommercialSpace #LaunchServices #GlobalPartnership
