Hyperbola-1

The Hyperbola-1 launch vehicle lifted off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 1 a.m. Eastern on 2019-07-25.

iSpace became the first Chinese private firm to achieve orbit with a successful Hyperbola-1 launch from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on 2019-07-25.

Chang’an Automobile Co., Ltd. delivered the Hyperbola-1 rocket to Jiuquan on 2019-07-06 and sponsored the launch through naming the launch vehicle.

If successful, an orbital flight by iSpace’s Hyperbola-1 would be the first Chinese private rocket to achieve orbit, following failures by Landspace in 2018 and OneSpace on 2019-03-27.

iSpace (Beijing Interstellar Glory Space Technology Ltd.) will attempt in early June to place a satellite in orbit using a Hyperbola-1 four-stage rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

iSpace plans to attempt to put a satellite into orbit with its Hyperbola-1 four-stage solid rocket around mid-2019 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Hyperbola-1 is expected to launch from Jiuquan by mid-2019.

Hyperbola-1 is a 1.4-meter-diameter, 20-meter-long launcher that uses three solid stages and a liquid fourth stage to deliver up to 150 kg to a 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.

The Hyperbola-1 launch vehicle is 1.4 m in diameter, 20 m long, uses three solid stages and a liquid fourth stage, and can deliver up to 150 kg of payload to a 700-kilometer-altitude sun-synchronous orbit (SSO).

iSpace completed development of all the engines for its four-stage Hyperbola-1 launch vehicle and performed successful tests of attitude control engines in early 2019.

iSpace indicated that its Hyperbola-1 launch could take place as soon as April 2019.

Hyperbola-1 is designed to deliver up to 150 kg of payload to a 700-kilometer-altitude sun-synchronous orbit.

Beijing-based iSpace is planning its first orbital launch with the Hyperbola-1, a launcher 1.4 m in diameter and 20 m long that uses three solid stages and a liquid fourth stage.

In September iSpace advertised 80 kg of payload capacity remaining for a Hyperbola-1 launch that was stated to take place in April from Jiuquan.

iSpace planned to launch three launch vehicles in 2019, with the first Hyperbola-1 orbital-series flight scheduled for the first half of 2019.

The Hyperbola-1 has three solid stages and a fourth liquid stage, a 1.4-meter diameter, a length of 20 m, a takeoff mass of 31 metric tons, and a 150-kilogram payload capacity to a 700-kilometer Sun-synchronous orbit.

iSpace was established in 2016 and plans its first orbital Hyperbola-1 launch in the first half of 2019.
