From Sweden to orbit.

SSC Space signed on for two Alpha launches from Esrange Space Center in Sweden, targeted to launch in 2028.

These missions, serving Swedish national defense and commercial customers, are part of a long-term, multi-launch partnership with @SSCspace, delivering regular orbital launch capabilities directly from mainland Europe.

Incredible achievement! Congratulations @isaraerospace and @AndoyaSpace 🚀✨!! We’re proud to be part of your journey from @SSCspace #Esrange Space Center! Full speed ahead!!

[Isar Aerospace @isaraerospace]

We made history. On just our second flight, we became the first commercial space company from Europe to deliver satellites into orbit. Mission 'Onward and Upward' successfully lifted off and deployed payloads into orbit. A new chapter for European spaceflight. More: https://t.co/EQ8NvB6lEo

🚀 An important milestone for Themis at our Esrange Space Center. Read more https://t.co/kEURc46v9R

🚀 A major milestone for Themis at Esrange Space Center.

On 23 July 2026, ArianeGroup and SSC Space teams completed a flight chronology rehearsal, also known as a wet dress rehearsal, with the Themis reusable stage demonstrator, as part of the EU-funded SALTO test campaign.

Using liquid nitrogen in place of liquid oxygen and liquid methane, the teams simulated launch operations under cryogenic conditions, with temperatures as low as -200°C.

The full-day rehearsal covered the countdown chronology, from the pre-flight preparation of the demonstrator and launch pad to the post-virtual-launch operations required to safe the site.

This test has provided essential data for the next stages of the campaign and marks further progress towards the Hop Test: Europe’s first flight test with recovery.

Following SALTO’s test-and-learn approach, each successive demonstration helps develop and mature the technologies required for reusability, bringing Europe closer to sovereign capabilities in reusable space technologies.

The teams are now working to define the window for the next test.

ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀

Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.

History is made. 🇮🇳
