JAKARTA - ABL Space Systems will resume launching RS1 rockets in the near future. Currently, RS1 is entering the final stages of preparation, as quoted from theSpacenews report.

ABL chief executive Harry O'Hanley said that the dock dress trial for RS1 had been completed. After this, their rocket will perform a clean rehearsal for launch preparations.

RS1 has seen an increase after the company failed to launch the rocket earlier this year. At its inaugural launch, the RS1 rocket carrying the GS0 system crashed 10 seconds after launch.

The company at that time said that the rocket lost power until the engine was finally turned off automatically. As a result, the rocket crashed on the launch pad.

RS1 lost its power due to a fire in the rocket engine room, but the company did not mention details or the start of the fire. They only said the fire was related to the design of the launch site.

To avoid the same thing from happening, the company has created a new, high-enhanced launcher seat. In addition, the disposal area is also considered so that there is no problem with recirculating exhaust gases.

OHanley believes that the company's strategy this time has provided a better path for the second flight. The company will ensure the success of their new design through a clean rehearsal.

Although information regarding the last phase of the trial has been announced, ABL did not provide information regarding the launch time of RS1. However, it is possible that RS1 will be launched next year.
