Isar Aerospace Scrubs First Spectrum Rocket Test Flight Due to Weather

The European startup is working to reschedule the milestone launch, which aims to validate systems for its two-stage satellite rocket.

Isar Aerospace postponed the inaugural test flight of its Spectrum rocket on March 24, 2025, citing unfavorable weather conditions.
The Spectrum rocket, a two-stage vehicle designed for small and medium satellites, is central to the company's plans to expand Europe's private space capabilities.
The test flight, named 'Going Full Spectrum,' is intended to gather critical data and validate the integrated systems of the rocket.
Isar Aerospace operates independently of the European Space Agency and has raised over 400 million euros to support its goal of producing up to 40 launch vehicles annually.
The Andøya Space Center in Norway, where the launch was planned, is positioned to become a key hub for Europe's growing space industry.
