Premieră europeană: Un startup german lansează o rachetă pe orbită

German startup Isar Aerospace successfully launched its Spectrum rocket from Norway, aiming to achieve Europe's first commercial orbital mission. The rocket, carrying five small satellites, reached orbit after four minutes. This was Isar's second launch attempt following previous delays. Spectrum, at 28 meters tall, is designed to transport 1,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit, differentiating itself from larger competitors like SpaceX. Isar has shifted focus to defense clients, now making up 60% of orders, amid rising European demand for space capabilities. The company plans to produce 40 rockets annually and has secured contracts with the European Space Agency.
