Sarawak Equatorial Spaceport is being developed by OculloSpace together with a growing network of leading space agencies, universities and industry partners across Malaysia and around the world. Our work has been recognised by international bodies such as the International Astronautical Federation, and is supported through collaborations with education and innovation programmes that bring real-world space missions to students and researchers. These partnerships strengthen the project’s technical credibility and ensure the spaceport is embedded in a vibrant, global space ecosystem.
Key Outcomes
Sarawak spaceport offers key outcomes to support the experiments and lanches of vertical-launch rockets flights.
Efficiency Advantage
Equatorial launch geometry reduces energy requirements and increases payload capability, enabling competitive launch costs.
National Capability
Malaysia’s first orbital launch infrastructure, aligned with federal space priorities and long-term technological development.
Economic Transforma
tion
Drives high-tech industry growth in Sarawak through investment, skilled jobs, and a sustainable aerospace ecosystem.
Equatorial Advantage
Located at just 3° north of the equator, the site benefits from Earth’s maximum rotational speed of about 1,670 km/h, which gives rockets a powerful “free” boost at liftoff. This extra velocity can translate into 15–20% more payload capacity to orbit or, for the same payload, significantly reduced fuel consumption and launch costs compared with higher-latitude spaceports.
Spaceport Capabilities
Sarawak Equatorial Spaceport is a next-generation launch site designed for small- and medium-lift rockets, supporting payloads of up to 5,000 kg to low Earth orbit. Located just 3° north of the equator on the Sarawak coastline, it offers efficient access to a wide range of orbits, including equatorial, low-inclination and ISS-compatible trajectories.
