NOTES

[F1] Inaugural launch failed after about 30 seconds.  Liftoff 
     stable except for apparent unstable first stage thrust.  
     Controlled ascent into clouds, then brief view of impact 
     explosion.  Launch from new HANBIT pad at Alcantara, at 
     2.31698 S, 44.36873 W.  Demo flight carried 5 microsats.
     Planned LEO.

Nano - South Korea's Innospace developed Hanbit Nano.  
       The 21.8 x 1.4 meter launch vehicle is designed to boost 
       90 kg to a 500 km sun synchronous low Earth orbit.
       Its first stage is a Hyper-25 hybrid rocket burning solid 
       paraffin fuel with liquid oxygen.  
       Its second stage is a methane/LOX stage powered by a 
       Limer-3 engine.    
       Nano flies from a new launch pad at Alcantara, Brazil, 
       located at 2.31698 S, 44.36873 W.
