German small-lift orbital rocket
Isar Aerospace's Spectrum made the first orbital launch attempt from mainland Western Europe, lifting off from Andøya in northern Norway in March 2025. A vent valve opened unexpectedly and the rocket lost control 18 seconds into flight. The second launch, "Onward and Upward," reached orbit in September 2026 and released five CubeSats.
We track every Spectrum launch.
