Next Wednesday, Isar Aerospace plans to send a rocket with payload to space for the first time. Munich-based company has set itself the goal of securing Europe's access to space.
The start-up is planning the second launch of its Spectrum rocket for January. The mission is expected to bring five small satellites to space. A new production site will also be put into operation in the course of the year.
