A Taiwanese non-governmental company, tiSPACE, was granted an Australian license to launch its Hapith I suborbital rocket from the Whalers Way Orbital Launch Complex.
The Hapith I rocket is a 10-meter, two-stage, suborbital rocket developed by the Taiwanese company tiSPACE.
ATSpace was founded in Australia in January 2021 and is the sister company to Taiwan-based TiSPACE.
TiSPACE is developing a three-stage rocket called Hapith-5 designed to carry up to 300 kg of payload to sun-synchronous orbit.
TiSPACE schedules the Hapith-5 maiden flight around the third quarter of 2022 with the first flight carrying a 150-kilogram satellite to sun-synchronous orbit.
TiSPACE was founded in 2016 by Yen-Sen Chen, a former visiting scientist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, to develop cost-effective launch vehicles for low-Earth-orbit smallsats.
TiSPACE originally planned to test Hapith-I from a launch site in Taiwan but the site was scrapped over legal issues concerning the location.
Southern Launch and TiSPACE postponed the initial Hapith I launch attempt on 2021-09-10 due to unfavorable weather conditions, with the clock stopped at T-34 minutes.
