A privately developed rocket has successfully launched into space from a remote Arctic spaceport, marking a milestone for European spaceflight. The Spectrum rocket, measuring nearly 30 meters in length, lifted off from Andøya Spaceport, demonstrating progress in independent launch capabilities. The test follows years of development by Isar Aerospace, a German company aiming to expand access to space for smaller satellites. Details on the mission’s objectives and performance remain under review as engineers assess the flight data.
Isar Aerospace says its 28-metre-long Spectrum rocket blasted off into space from Andøya spaceport in Arctic Norway.
