HANBIT-Nano | InnoSat-0
Innospace launches HANBIT-Nano carrying InnoSat-0 from HANBIT Pad, Alcântara Space Center, Federative Republic of Brazil at 2026-11-30 00:00:00Z. The operator has not published how precise that target time is. The date is still provisional and can move.

LISTING
Celestron FirstScope 76 mm Tabletop Telescope
76 mm of aperture on a tabletop mount with nothing to align: put it on a step, point it, look. The entry point of the whole category — it comes with no finder, which is the trade — and enough scope to show lunar craters and Jupiter's four bright moons.

Beginner Dobsonians
The category most experienced observers point a beginner at: aperture on a simple rocker mount, with no motors to fail. A starting point for browsing rather than a specific pick — compare 130 mm and 150 mm before buying.

Beginner refractors
Lighter and quicker to set up than a Dobsonian, weaker on faint deep-sky objects. Worth browsing if the scope has to live in a cupboard and come out on a whim.

MISSION BRIEF
Innospace's first in-house test satellite, 'InnoSat-0', will test various technologies for future development of satellites by Innospace themselves. The satellite will be deployed using Korean company SpaceBey’s specialized deployer.

LAUNCH CORRIDOR
- Due east
- The lowest orbit inclination a direct launch from here can reach — 2.3°, which is this pad’s own latitude. It also collects the most free speed from Earth’s rotation.
- Due south
- The polar and sun-synchronous corridor: 90° inclination, passing over both poles. It gets no help from Earth’s spin, which is why it costs more payload.
Drag the globe to turn it. The shading is the real terminator, and it moves.
A globe of the Earth centred on HANBIT Pad at latitude 2.32 degrees south, longitude 44.37 degrees west. Two curved lines leave the pad. The solid gold line runs due east and marks the lowest orbital inclination a direct launch from this site can reach, 2.3 degrees, equal to the pad’s latitude of 2.3 degrees. The dashed cyan line runs due south and marks the polar corridor at 90 degrees inclination. The darkened part of the globe is the night side. Surface wind is blowing from 64°, at 23 km/h, shown as the cyan arrow at the pad.

OBSERVED 2026-08-28 00:45:00Z // OPEN-METEO (CC BY 4.0) // GENERAL CONDITIONS, NOT LAUNCH CRITERIA
Minimum direct inclination 2.3°. From 2.3° south of the equator, a direct ascent cannot enter an orbit inclined less than 2.3°, because an orbit of inclination i never passes over latitudes beyond ±i. Reaching an equatorial plane — what a geostationary transfer ultimately needs — therefore costs a plane change of 2.3° somewhere in the flight, while inclinations of 2.3° and above are available straight off the pad. The ground here is carried eastward at about 465 m/s (465 m/s at the equator, falling with the cosine of latitude), and a due-east launch keeps that head start.

The observed block is general weather for the coordinates of HANBIT Pad, not launch-commit criteria. Those are written per mission by the operator and the range, cover conditions this forecast does not carry at all (electric fields, cloud layers aloft, winds through the vehicle’s own load limits), and are published only by the operator. Wind is a common reason countdowns stop for weather — that is general context, not a rule about this flight, and no number in this block is a threshold. Nothing here is a go or no-go call, and no operator figure was published for this attempt.
