Blue Origin reported the commencement of construction on a new Payload Processing Facility in Florida.

Meanwhile, Isar Aerospace prepares to attempt a launch of the Spectrum rocket from Andøya Spaceport in Norway, aiming to deploy CubeSats into orbit. This marks Isar's second attempt to launch the Spectrum rocket since January, following a failed test flight last year due to technical issues and the launch range's unavailability.
