💨 Abstract

A European rocket, the Spectrum developed by German start-up Isar Aerospace, launched from Norway but crashed into the Norwegian Sea seconds after lift-off due to smoke billowing from its sides. The 30-second flight was considered a success as it provided valuable data for future missions. The rocket aimed to put small and medium satellites into orbit, and this was the first time a rocket capable of reaching orbit was launched from continental Europe.
