First test flight completed by Isar Aerospace ! Congratulations to Daniel Metzler and the team for all of the successes and learnings coming from this. On to the next and upwards to the stars 🚀 Well done! #spacenetwork #launch #space #test #rocket Andøya Spaceport
What a success! At 12:30 PM CEST, Isar Aerospace's Spectrum launch vehicle successfully lifted off from Andøya Spaceport in Norway. The launch vehicle was terminated after approx. 30 seconds in flight, and the vehicle fell directly into the sea. The launch pad seems to be intact. With this test flight, we were able to successfully gather valuable data and experience for future missions. Thanks to strict safety procedures from both Isar Aerospace and Andøya Spaceport, all personnel remained safe at all times. With Spectrum #2 and #3 already in production, Isar Aerospace is preparing for its next launch! CEO and Co-founder Daniel Metzler: “Our first test flight met all our expectations, achieving a great success. We had a clean liftoff, 30 seconds of flight and even got to validate our Flight Termination System.” Photo: Isar Aerospace | Brady Kenniston, NASASpaceflight.com
