Taiwan Innovative Space will conduct a test launch of its Hapith I rocket in Australia later this year

Australian regulators have given Taiwan Innovative Space, a five-year-old launch company that goes by Tispace, the green light to conduct a commercial launch at a newly licensed facility in southern Australia later this year.The news is potentially significant for both Australia and Taiwan’s burgeoning space industries, which have lagged behind other nations’. Australia only established a domestic space agency in 2018, and interest in how the country can get in on the new space economy has only grown since. The newly licensed launch facility will initially support a test launch campaign for up to three suborbital rockets, in order to collect data on the possible environmental impacts of the site.
