Germany startup Isar Aerospace launched an uncrewed Spectrum rocket from Arctic Norway on Saturday morning, bringing Europe closer to sovereign satellite launch capabilities. The flight tests whether the vehicle can become the first successful orbital launch originating from European soil. Access to space remains a critical constraint for the European space industry and national security architecture, according to Isar Aerospace co-founder and CEO Daniel Metzler.
