Scaling production is non trivial. We spent many years on it, and will now increase our factory by 10x

[Isar Aerospace @isaraerospace]

We’ve raised €270 million in Series D funding. This strategic backing powers our global expansion, accelerates serial production of our Spectrum launch vehicle, and drives new global launch sites. Backed by leading European and international investors, we deliver scalable orbital launch systems to secure sovereign space access for Europe, NATO, and allied nations.

We are joining forces with @maritimelaunch to develop orbital launch readiness from Nova Scotia, Canada. Spaceport Nova Scotia is strategically located to support access to mid- to high-inclination and polar orbits for Earth observation and communication satellites. Read more: https://t.co/yloDc3ruko

There is no question that we will reach orbit and demonstrate reliable access to space. Scrubs are part of the business. Each attempt gives us valuable experience and lessons learned. We are assessing the matter, and will be back on the pad ready to launch soon.

We are standing down from today’s launch attempt to evaluate a suspected leak in a composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV). The teams are assessing and will determine next steps.

Targeting NET 9 April for the launch of Mission ‘Onward and Upward’ during the available launch window, which opens at 8pm UTC; 10pm CEST.
The final date remains subject to weather, safety and range infrastructure.

Demand for launches is surging! Isar Aerospace is teaming up with @Astroscale_UK to launch the ‘ELSA-M’ mission—our first active debris removal flight, paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable space, and boosting Europe’s space capabilities! Read more: https://t.co/RJjwUq8E2R

There is no space power without rockets. Proud to welcome European leaders Friedrich Merz and Jonas Støre, defense ministers Pistorius and Sandvik, and industry and space ministers Myrseth and Bär today at our Norwegian spaceport.

[Isar Aerospace @isaraerospace]

Sovereign space capability is not defined by one launch. It is the ability to unlock space on your own terms. With our 40,000 m² headquarters, which will produce up to 40 rockets per year when fully ramped up, we are building the foundation of Europe’s space industry.

[Isar Aerospace @isaraerospace]

Christmas lights aren’t the only thing blazing this season – Spectrum’s engines are too! Less than 9 months after our first test flight, we have cleared final tests for our second launch from @AndoyaSpace! Both stages passed 30-second integrated static fire tests.

30 sec of pure power and precision. Stage 2 is ready for Spectrum’s second flight after completing static hotfire testing. We further boosted Stage 2 performance by streamlining its design and reducing complexity. Enjoy watching while we’re getting ready @AndoyaSpace .

[Daniel Metzler @danielmetzler]

@ESA’s €205M commitment to @isaraerospace via the European Launcher Challenge is a clear signal that sovereignty comes from competition & commercialization. Finally, Europe is waking up and starts changing its approach to launch.

New Launch Agreement signed with @esa and @EU_Commission for @redwire mission. This is the path to sovereign space capabilities for Europe—by fostering partnerships between institutions and commercial innovators. As #CM25 defined Europe’s future in space, we are building it.
