Independence-X Aerospace Sdn. Bhd.
Independence-X Aerospace is a Malaysian aerospace company. Independence-X Aerospace or better known as IDXA is currently developing rocket launcher technology that it claims could reduce launch cost significantly.
IDXA would be providing future commercial rocket launch services into LEO (Low Earth Orbit). The rocket launcher is known as the DNLV (Dedicated Nano Launch Vehicle) to be commercial ready by 2023, which was featured in NASA "Small Spacecraft Technology: State of the Art" December 2015 report.[2] The DNLV is capable of providing dedicated launch services to small satellites and cubesat owners for insertion into their intended orbit and inclination. IDXA is looking at frequent launches from near equatorial launch site for at least twice a month for the first year (24 launches / year).
DNLV is capable of delivering payloads of 200 kg to a 500 km Sun-synchronous orbit. IDXA was also an official team of the Google Lunar X Prize since 2008 until 2016, then later partnered with remaining team Synergy Moon from the USA. IDXA is currently developing a lunar lander probe named as SQUALL (Scientific Quest Autonomous Lunar Lander) which will aim to complete the goals of the Google Lunar X Prize, and to conduct scientific discovery of other rare minerals and search for water on the surface of the moon.
Besides its Moon mission, a Mars mission in currently being planned for post the year 2020, where IDXA is developing a bio-mimetic flapping winged micro aerial vehicle (B-MAV) robotic dragonfly to scout the Martian Surface to assist NASA's future Mars rover from the rough rocky Martian terrain to perform ground exploration much easily by providing avoidable obstacle path. IDXA is also developing a reentry capsule in the pipeline for future commercial missions.
