Isar Aerospace's Spectrum rocket successfully launched into space on its second test flight, marking the first time a privately developed rocket reached orbit from continental Europe. The launch took place from the Norwegian spaceport Andøya and carried five scientific satellites and one experimental payload. This achievement is considered a significant milestone for Europe's aerospace industry and a step towards reducing dependence on U.S. suppliers.77 sourcesSee all sources
