Isar Aerospace Spectrum rocket succeeds on second test flight from Andøya

Germany's Isar Aerospace successfully launched its Spectrum rocket from Andøya Spaceport in Norway on its second test flight, following a first attempt that ended in failure. The successful launch marks a significant milestone for the European private space sector, though details on payload and orbit insertion remain limited. This development strengthens Europe's independent access to space and boosts commercial launch competition.
