Musk are un nou rival în Europa. Isar Aerospace a trimis o racheta pe orbită

German startup Isar Aerospace successfully launched its Spectrum rocket into orbit from Norway, marking a significant milestone for European space endeavors. The mission, named "Onward and Upward," took place on September 5, transporting five small satellites and an experiment. This achievement positions Isar Aerospace as the first commercial space company in Europe to successfully deploy satellites into orbit, providing an alternative to dominant American firms like SpaceX. The launch is seen as a historic moment for Norway's space program and enhances Europe's independent access to space, aiming to reduce reliance on external providers for satellite launches. Spectrum is designed for commercial and institutional launches, capable of carrying approximately one ton to low Earth orbit.
