Its first orbital attempt in December 2025 failed due to a hardware fault (investigation published), and a second launch is planned for 2026 with customer payloads and a SpaceBey satellite deployer integrated for a Q3-2026 mission. A suborbital test success (HANBIT-TLV, 2023) and public-market capital keep it credible despite the failure.","sub_category":"Small launch","signals_total":4,"url":"https://www.frontiertechintelligence.com/companies/innospace","title":"Innospace · space, South Korea · scores, facts and signals · Frontier Tech Intelligence","description":"Innospace develops the HANBIT-Nano small launch vehicle for orbital missions, including a planned second flight carrying customer payloads.
