i-Space completed a series of tests using a full-scale Hyperbola-3 mock-up to validate the launch system at the Hainan commercial launch site.
The maiden launch of the Hyperbola-3 may be postponed to the second half of 2026.
iSpace built hardware for Hyperbola-3 that includes the aft end of a second-stage, propellant tanks, grid fins, and the Qinglan drone ship.
iSpace tested a transporter-erector at the Wenchang Commercial Space Launch Site ahead of Hyperbola-3’s debut flight in 2026.
iSpace conducted sixteen shock tests of a Hyperbola-3 landing leg on December 29, 2025 that simulated landing on a drone ship at sea.
iSpace collected the expected data from the sixteen shock tests and proceeded to produce four landing legs for Hyperbola-3’s first flight.
iSpace has completed the landing leg test for Hyperbola-3.
iSpace has completed the landing leg test for Hyperbola-3.
i-Space is testing the landing legs for Hyperbola-3.
iSpace and Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Co Ltd held a joint rehearsal for the operations with the transporter-erector of Hyperbola-3 between December 18th and 19th.
iSpace is testing hardware for its partially reusable Hyperbola-3 launch vehicle in December 2025.
The earliest possible launch date for the Hyperbola-3 is March 2026 with further testing planned at Wenchang in early 2026.
iSpace launched a drone ship for recovering Hyperbola-3 first-stage boosters earlier in 2025, and sea trials are believed to be underway.
iSpace has previously performed technical verifications of Hyperbola-3's transporter-erector using a pathfinder of the launch vehicle.
iSpace has not provided a possible launch date for Hyperbola-3 after missing its planned debut in December 2025.
iSpace plans to install plumbing for loading the Hyperbola-3 with propellant by late January or early February 2026.
On December 4th, iSpace produced the aft end of the second stage of Hyperbola-3 and equipped it with in-space attitude control thrusters and two storable propellant tanks.
i-Space is testing the transporter for Hyperbola-3.
i-Space recently tested the grid fins for Hyperbola-3.
The thrusters in Hyperbola-3's Second Stage Auxiliary Power System handle attitude control, orbit trimming, propellant management for engine restarts, and deorbit passivation.
