Hawk Institute of Space Sciences - Launch ImageHISS supplies low cost launch services from NASA Wallops Island Flight Facility (WFF) through an approved Space Act agreement. We specialize in providing launch opportunities for satellites under 250kg. HISS offers the integration and payload operations control center facilities, and utilizes the infrastructure at WFF to support payload testing. HISS can also provide all required adapter hardware, launch vehicle, and payload operations control center capabilities.

Our facilities include over 10,000 square feet of manufacturing and integration space with a fully equipped machine, welding, and an electrical shop, as well as a class 10,000 cleanroom.

HISS utilizes the Hawk Multiple Payload Ejector (MPE) for launches. The carrier accommodates multiple segments that support a variety of individual payload classes. Because the MPE allows multiple satellites to be launched from a single rocket, it is often a cost effective solution for educational and scientific applications.
