Launch Delayed by Rain
"Operations Proceeding Normally"
On December 23 at 10:00 a.m. Korea Standard Time, space launch vehicle company Innospace will attempt the first commercial launch of its 'Hanbit-Nano' rocket from the Alcantara Space Center in Brazil.
Innospace announced the launch time, stating that the rain at the site had subsided, allowing them to resume and proceed with launch operations as scheduled.
Initially, Innospace had targeted a launch at 3:45 a.m. on the same day, but postponed the launch time due to forecasted rain at the site. After the rain stopped, Hanbit-Nano was erected at 5:47 a.m. and completed a functional check, and at 6:27 a.m., fueling and oxidizer loading began.
Innospace will send a total of eight regular payloads into space, including five small satellites from Brazilian and Indian clients and three non-separating experimental devices. The entire launch process will be broadcast live through the official YouTube channel.
