Flight 3

Overview

Destination: Suborbital
Mission: Suborbital

Suborbital Launch Complex 0 Hokkaido Spaceport, Japan

Flight duration : 515 seconds. Maximum altitude : 113.4 km. Downrange : 37 km from the launch site. This was the first successful attempt following two consecutive failures for the previous MOMO series, and has provided valuable telemetry data for further development within IST.

MOMO v0

Family:
Configuration: v0

Momo is a Japanese sounding rocket capable of delivering 20 kg to a height of 100 km. It is privately developed by Interstellar Technologies Inc. (IST). The single stage Momo is powered by a pressure-fed engine fueled with ethanol and liquid oxygen. The engine is gimbaled for steering, with cold gas thrusters providing roll control. Momo v0 was replaced by v1 in 2021.
