Munich's start-up Isar Aerospace is preparing the second test flight of its Spectrum rocket. Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius was now visiting.
Worldwide, launchers can currently take off from sites in eleven states, and Germany has no own base. Defense Minister Pistorius is now considering changing that. However, he did not want to mention a location when visiting Isar Aerospace.
Retreat from retreat: Fliegerhorst, university, drone defence center - the Bundeswehr remains present in the Munich region, but sometimes the military use of sites and barracks changes. An overview.
Because the troops are largely blank against drone attacks, soldiers want to defend themselves with shotguns. They fear for their "survival ability in action". But that is not what Defense Minister Pistorius sees differently.
The Federal Government is examining the establishment of a separate launch base for Bundeswehr launchers in order to be able to transport military satellites into space.
Boris Pistorius wants to get the Bundeswehr out of the "space-stau". After all, most European satellites are taken to space by the US company SpaceX. In order not to endanger national security in commercial queues, the Ministry of Defense is now examining alternatives.
