Europa intră în cursa sateliţilor. O companie germană a lansat prima sa rachetă în spaţiu - Economica.net

The Spectrum rocket, developed by Isar Aerospace, successfully launched from Norway, marking a historic milestone as the first privately developed rocket to reach orbit from continental Europe. The launch occurred on Saturday, and although the video feed was lost shortly after takeoff, the rocket reportedly reached the Karman line, indicating it entered space. Spectrum is designed to deploy satellites into low Earth orbit and aims to produce 40 rockets annually. Despite previous launch delays, Isar Aerospace has secured significant contracts and funding, highlighting the strategic importance of European space capabilities. The company competes with established players like Arianespace and aims to reduce launch costs.
