Space: Isar Aerospace: The rocket company's 100 billion plan
Attempt by Musk to poach staff, engine tests on the farm, factory in Canada: The curious story of a Munich start-up that has a chance of becoming one of Germany's largest corporations.
Isar Aerospace, a rocket company founded in Munich, is transforming into an industry player, driven by high demand and ambitions to make Germany a space-faring nation. The company's founders aim to demonstrate Europe's capabilities in future technologies, and Isar Aerospace is poised to become a key component of Germany's defense and space strategy.
A recent launch at the Andøya Spaceport in Norway saw the company's Spectrum 2 rocket successfully complete seven of ten flight maneuvers, deploying satellites and eventually disintegrating in Earth's orbit. The launch marked several milestones, including the first European-launched orbital rocket and the first German-made orbital spacecraft.
