Sarajevo, Bosnia
Orbital ambition, built from SJJ Mission Control.
BASA leads a fast-moving experimental flight program uniting the PK, Hava, Yn, and Sacrifice programs under one mission: disciplined testing, aggressive altitude targets, and credible mission operations from Sarajevo International Airport.
Program Record
3,030,806 studs
Sacrifice 11neo, peak velocity ~8,049 km/h
Mission Summary
A compact launch organization with a serious test cadence.
PK Program
Modular experimental craft built around unconventional thrust layouts, crew systems, and support vehicles developed by the whole BASA team.
Yn Program
High-energy neo-architecture spacecraft focused on stable suborbital climbs, velocity optimization, and anomaly-driven iteration.
Sacrifice Program
The Sacrifice Program is BASA's dedicated high-performance neo campaign, responsible for the agency's strongest suborbital record runs and repeated altitude breakthroughs.
Hava Program
Experimental rockets pushing beyond the atmosphere, including early low Earth orbit attempts and failure investigations that inform later systems.
HOTASS Series
HOTASS stands for Hub for Orbital Telemetry and Antenna Signal Services / Hazard Observation & Tornado Analysis Sensing System.
MSCV
The Mobile Stellar Communications Vehicle is a PK ground support vehicle built for live coordination, telemetry review, and mobile command work in rough field conditions.
Ground Fleet
BASA ground vehicles operate like a cinematic support wing, not background equipment.
Recent Benchmark Flights
Program-defining missions across BASA vehicle lines.
Sacrifice 11neo
Flawless Sacrifice Program suborbital mission reaching 3,030,806 studs and ~8,049 km/h, establishing the top performance in program history.
Sacrifice 1
Unlogged early Sacrifice vehicle that originally held the program record at 2,557,246 studs with an estimated acceleration around 7,660 km/h before later record holders surpassed it.
Yn-Delta 2
Turbine failures during ascent cut thrust approximately in half, sharply limiting altitude and overall mission outcome.
HOTASS 3
Field-deployed communications van carrying modified solar hardware, large antenna structures, and satellite uplink equipment for BASA support operations.
Support Fleet
HOTASS extends BASA operations beyond the launchpad.
The HOTASS Series is BASA's mobile telecommunications platform, built from vans or buses converted into TeleCommuniBus and TeleCommuniVan support vehicles.
HOTASS 1 was the first TeleCommuniBus configuration, establishing the series before HOTASS 3 pushed the concept into a more aggressive field-operations form.
Ground Operations
MSCV extends mission control into the field.
The Mobile Stellar Communications Vehicle, or MSCV, is a PK support vehicle configured as a compact mobile command post. It supports launch-site communications, live systems monitoring, and field coordination when PK mission activity moves beyond the fixed SJJ facility.
The current MSCV layout includes a driver console, onboard workstation hardware, and a multi-display operations bench for communications oversight.
Operational Base
SJJ Mission Control coordinates flight readiness from Sarajevo International Airport.
The control center combines launch oversight, anomaly review, vehicle staging, and program planning in a single operational hub. BASA's identity is built around disciplined experimental flight rather than pure spectacle.

The BASA identity stays tied to Bosnia, not just the vehicles.
