October 8, 2021

Launch startup Taiwan Innovative Space Inc.’s quest to field a commercial smallsat launcher suffered a setback last month when a suborbital prototype of a planned orbital rocket caught fire during liftoff. TiSPACE plans to try again before year’s end with a reserve rocket.

As the first and only commercial rocket company in Taiwan, TiSPACE is developing a three-stage rocket called Hapith-5 designed to carry up to 300 kilograms of payload to sun-synchronous orbits.
