Mission Details
Spaceward
The Hanbit-Nano 'Spaceward' mission is the first commercial launch that will put an actual customer's satellite and payload into low Earth orbit (LEO) at an altitude of 300 km, beyond launch demonstration. Through this mission, Innospace plans to transport a total of 8 regular payloads. Among them, the regular payload consists of five small satellites that will perform practical purposes such as climate and environmental data collection, technology development, and education, and three experimental payloads for verifying new technologies and securing data in the space environment.

Boarding started!
At the Alcântara Space Center in Brazil, INNOSPACE has begun the payload integration process for its first commercial launch vehicle, HANBIT-Nano, as part of the SPACEWARD mission for customer satellites.
This marks a symbolic milestone as the first Korean private company to enter the commercial launch service stage with actual customer satellites!
From Earth to orbit — the adventure begins!

● Functional checks and interface tests underway for five multinational small satellites and three experimental payloads
● Payload integration initiated ... "A symbolic milestone marking Korea's first private-sector launch service readiness"
● Target launch schedule: November 22 at 3:00 PM (BRT), Alcântara Space Center, Brazil

INNOSPACE announced today that it has begun functional checks and satellite–launch vehicle interface tests for customer satellites and experimental payloads as part of the operational procedures for its first commercial launch mission SPACEWARD of the 'HANBIT-Nano'.
This procedure verifies the electrical and mechanical connections between the payload adapter (PLA) and other integration hardware with the satellites and payloads. It is an essential pre-launch step to ensure stable mounting and integrated operation.
With its first commercial launcher HANBIT-Nano, INNOSPACE plans to deploy five customer satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) at 300 km altitude and 40° inclination, while simultaneously performing missions for three non-separating experimental payloads and one branding payload. The target launch time is November 22 at 3:00 PM (BRT), from the Alcantara Launch Center in Brazil. The launch window runs from October 28 to November 28.
On the same day, three Brazilian customers—Federal University of Maranhão (UFMA), the Brazilian Space Agency (AEB), and Castro Leite Consultoria LTDA (CLC)—visited the launch site to conduct functional checks and interface testing. UFMA completed pre-launch procedures for two small satellites for technology development and education; AEB completed checks for two small satellites for climate and environmental data collection and one inertial navigation system (INS); and CLC completed procedures for one GNSS unit and one INS payload.
One small satellite from the Indian customer Grahaa SPACE is scheduled to follow the sequential integration process. In addition, one highball-can branding model from Korean company BREWGURU will be placed separately onboard as a symbolic participatory payload.
"INNOSPACE's satellite–launch vehicle interface test marks a significant step, as it is the first time a Korean private company has independently carried out the integration procedures required for commercial launch services in line with customer requirements. This is symbolic of Korea's private launch service industry entering true commercialization, supported by practical preparations to serve satellite customers," said Soojong Kim, Founder and CEO of INNOSPACE.
Following the completion of these functional checks and interface tests, INNOSPACE will proceed with final integration to mount the satellites onto the launch vehicle. Once completed, the process will move on to payload fairing installation, pre-launch rehearsal (dry run), comprehensive weather and environmental assessments, and finally the joint flight-safety and integrated-operations procedures with the Brazilian Air Force leading up to the final launch countdown.
 

▲ Two satellites jointly developed by Brazil's UFMA (Federal University of Maranhão) in collaboration with startups and national institutions
 

▲ Two satellites (FloripaSat-2A & FloripaSat-2B) developed by the SpaceLab of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) with support from the Brazilian Space Agency (AEB)

New DATE for the SPACEWARD Mission: Dec 17 (BRT)
INNOSPACE has rescheduled the SPACEWARD mission to December 17 (BRT), with a launch window from December 16 to 22 (BRT).
This adjustment is an essential step to thoroughly validate the signal-processing segment observed during tests conducted with the Brazilian Air Force(@fab_oficial) using aircraft, ensuring enhanced launch safety and mission reliability.
During the Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) held on November 18–19 at the Alcântara Space Center, we successfully completed the full ground launch sequence—from rollout to pre-launch procedures and pad recovery. Readiness confirmed.
INNOSPACE continues its preparations with precision to ensure a safe and responsible mission.
We will keep moving forward—stay tuned for updates.

Эта корректировка является важным шагом для тщательной проверки сегмента обработки сигналов, наблюдаемого во время испытаний с ВВС Бразилии (@fab_oficial) с использованием самолётов, обеспечивая повышенную безопасность запуска и надёжность миссии.
Во время репетиции Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR), прошедшей 18–19 ноября в Космическом центре Алькантара, мы успешно завершили полный этап запуска с земли — от запуска до предстартовых процедур и возвращения с площадки. Готовность подтверждена.
