🇪🇺🚀 Isar cleared to launch Spectrum from Andøya Spaceport between March 20 and 30th.
European Rocket Launch from Continental Europe
I've had the chance to visit the Ottobrun assembly hall of the Spectrum rocket in 2022.
It had a vibrant atmosphere, and the teams were iterating at high speed over various designs through the use of additive manufacturing including for the combustion chamber of their liquid oxygen and propane engine.
Such a huge moment that the teams have been working towards. Go Team Isar, best of luck for tomorrow's launch attempt! 🚀🇪🇺🫶
Spectrum completed its fueling at Andøya🇳🇴.
T-0:30 for opening of launch window
T-22min update: Spectrum is GO for launch 🚀 🇪🇺
Spectrum lift off, and after a few seconds of stable flight phase, the rocket tilted and then lost control, engines turned off and went RUD upon contact with earth.
🤗 to the Isar team, looking forward to the postmortem and next test flight
🇪🇺🇩🇪🚀 All the best to the Isar Aerospace team for this new launch attempt between 20 and 23 January from Andøya Spaceport in Norway 🇳🇴!
Ad Astra Spectrum!
