SEBIT First Test Flight: Results Update

INNOSPACE conducted the first test flight of its multipurpose suborbital rocket ‘SEBIT’ at 16:30 on August 19 (BRT, UTC-3) at the Alcântara Space Center (CLA) in Brazil.

SEBIT ignited and lifted off normally from INNOSPACE’s own launch pad. During the flight, however, a deviation from the planned trajectory was detected. In accordance with the launch center’s safety regulations, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) activated the Flight Termination System (FTS) to terminate the flight early. The rocket came down within a designated maritime safety zone, with no injuries or property damage reported.

The test flight was conducted in cooperation with ALADA, a Brazilian state-owned company established to expand the commercial use of the country’s aerospace infrastructure. While we regret that the planned flight could not be fully completed, the test flight provided valuable flight data from key systems, including the launch pad, propulsion system, and guidance, navigation and control (GNC).

We sincerely thank everyone who has shown deep interest in and supported INNOSPACE’s challenge, and we regret that the planned flight could not be completed. We also extend our deepest appreciation to ALADA, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), and all INNOSPACE team members who worked closely and tirelessly throughout the launch campaign.

The data and experience secured from this flight will provide an important foundation for SEBIT’s performance improvement and further development. INNOSPACE will thoroughly analyze the secured data to identify the cause and reflect the findings in subsequent procedures and improvements, continuously enhancing SEBIT’s flight performance, reliability, and operational stability.

Once again, we sincerely thank everyone for your continued interest in and support for SEBIT.

The time behind the scenes has been far longer than what the public has seen. ⏳

Great rocket engines are never built overnight.

INNOSPACE's methane engine has evolved through continuous cycles of design, testing, data analysis, and engineering refinement.

In 2024, INNOSPACE successfully completed a 237-second hot-fire test, establishing a solid technological foundation. The engine was further enhanced with dual-propellant regenerative cooling technology, improving both performance and reliability.

In 2026, INNOSPACE successfully completed Korea's longest 420-second ground hot-fire test, further demonstrating the engine's durability and reliability.

As of July 2026, INNOSPACE has completed 95 hot-fire tests, accumulating 2,787 seconds of combustion testing, continuously advancing its methane propulsion technology through extensive validation and real engineering data.

But this journey did not begin in 2024.

For more than two decades, Youngil Park, Managing Director (Research Director) of the Rocket Propulsion R&D Center at INNOSPACE, Principal Researcher WOOTAE CHEON, and a dedicated team of researchers have believed in the potential of methane propulsion. 👨‍🔬

Today's methane engine represents far more than engineering drawings and test results.

It is the result of decades of accumulated expertise, countless rounds of testing and validation, and the dedication of the engineers behind its development.

And the journey continues—beyond LiMEK-04 and LiMER-3, toward the next generation of methane propulsion systems. ✨
