Space travel: Isar Aerospace aims for the next launch this year - and the requirements are increasing
Just a few days ago, the rocket of the Munich-based start-up made it into orbit. Now the company could even outdo SpaceX. And not for the first time.
Isar Aerospace, a German company, is close to completing the assembly of its next launch vehicle, according to Daniel Metzler, co-founder and CEO. The company recently launched its first commercial rocket into space and may have another launch before the end of the year, with Metzler saying "Möglicherweise" when asked if a launch before year-end is possible.
Isar Aerospace has a factory near Munich producing rockets in series, with five more in various stages of completion. The next launch will carry commercial satellites, marking a significant milestone for the company as it seeks to meet the high requirements of the German military.
