Eldflaugaskýrsla: Evrópa komin í hóp einkarekinna geimskota
Þýska fyrirtækið Isar Aerospace náði sögulegum áfanga þegar það skaut eldflaug á braut um jörðu. Þetta er í fyrsta sinn sem evrópskt einkafyrirtæki nær þessum árangri og markar það tímamót í samkeppni á geimmarkaði.
Welcome to Edition 9.10 of the Rocket Report! This week we're celebrating a historic moment in Europe when a German rocket company successfully put its launch vehicle into orbit. Isar Aerospace became the first purely commercial European company to reach orbit, and impressively it did so on just its second launch attempt.
Isar Aerospace, founded in 2018 by three students at a German university, successfully launched a privately developed rocket into low-Earth orbit on Saturday from a Norwegian spaceport inside the Arctic Circle. The two-stage rocket, Spectrum, became the first fully commercial launch vehicle in Europe to reach orbit.
