[{"type":"text","content":"Korean launch provider INNOSPACE has selected Viasat’s rocket telemetry service for its first ever commercial launch. It will also mark the first time this service will be used in a commercial mission carrying satellite payloads. LONDON, Dec. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viasat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global leader in satellite communications, today announced it will provide its launch telemetry service for INNOSPACE (KS: 462350) – a South Korean satellite launch service company. The mission, currently targeted for later this month, will see INNOSPACE’s HANBIT-Nano launch vehicle carry a total of eight registered payloads, including five small satellites and three non-separating experimental devices, along with one symbolic branding model into low Earth orbit (LEO) from Alcântara Launch Center, State of Maranhão, Northern Brazil. Under Communication Services, Viasat’s InRange, part of the recently introduced HaloNet portfolio of orbital services, is planned to provide crucial launch telemetry data and – in another first for the service – aims to enable compressed video-streaming from the launch vehicle. The rocket telemetry service is designed to provide a continuous flow of telemetry data during launch – from liftoff to payload deployment. Unlike traditional ground networks that can only connect when a launch vehicle is within sight, InRange uses Viasat’s L-band geostationary satellites which orbit 36,500km above the Earth. This means launch operators like INNOSPACE will have the ability to closely monitor launch missions from launchpad to space, with consistent and reliable connectivity from geostationary satellites. As demand to launch small satellites into space continues to grow, INNOSPACE uses innovative proprietary technology using 3D-printing and a mix of different fuels – known as a hybrid – to provide small satellite launchers that deliver low-cost, reliable, and low-latency access to space. While headquartered in Korea, the company plans to launch from various global space ports, including Brazil, Norway, and Australia, to maximize its launch capabilities for customers in the future. Gary Lay, Vice President, International Government, Viasat, said: “Activity in space is increasing and demand for small satellite launch is rising – all over the world. Companies like INNOSPACE are vital to meet the increasing demand for ...
