The first orbit rocket started from the European accidents after departure | Space

A test rocket aimed at launching satellite launches from Europe fell to the ground, and shortly after a minute after the departure from Norway on Sunday, the German initiative exploded as the first test of Aerospace.

He began to smoke from the spectrum sides and returned to Earth in a strong explosion immediately after he left the Andøya spaceport in the Arctic. Images were released live on YouTube.

Unweed Rocket was invoiced as the first attempt in the orbit flight from Europe, where many countries, including Sweden and England, want the share of the growing market for commercial space duties.

Orbital rockets are designed to place loads such as satellites in or beyond the Earth’s orbit.

Isar Aerospace warned that the first launch could end early, Aerospace, the test team can learn comprehensive data, he said.

Rocket was on Sunday at 12.30 (11.30 BST) on Sunday (11.30 BST) and flew about half a minute before the termination of the flight.

“This allowed the company to gather a significant amount of flight data and experience to apply for future tasks, Yas said Isar said. “After the flight was terminated in T+30 seconds, the launch vehicle fell into the sea in a controlled manner.”

Josef Aschbacher, the General Manager of the European Space Agency, said, “Success to get off from the Ped and a lot of data have already been obtained.

The spectrum is designed for small and medium -sized satellites with a metric tone, although it does not carry a burden on its first journey from Spaceport in Norway.

The Bavaria company said last week that Isar Aerospace aims to collect data about the launch vehicle in the first integrated test of all systems of the task.

The company, headquartered in Munich, said that he had previously thought that a 30 -second flight was successful. Although the Test did not aim to reach orbit in his first position, he marked the first commercial orbit flight from a launch ramp on the European continent except Russia.

European countries have long been relying to pay money for launch from Russian space stations, but in February 2022, the relationship has broken down since the full -scale Ukrainian invasion of Moscow.

US companies go into space, especially for governments and private businesses to send satellites such as SpaceX, Lockheed Martin and Boeing, a wide band internet or observation equipment in a budding industry. Chinese companies are also trying to benefit from the new sector.

Many estimates show that the global space industry can generate more than $ 1 million (£ 770 billion) in the next twenty years.

Isar Aerospace aims to launch up to 1,000 kg, a low -world orbit, which is an area up to a height of about 1,200 miles, most satellites, most satellites fired around the world. Established in 2018, the initiative has developed its rocket almost completely within the company.

Before the test flight, Aschbacher said: “Regardless of the result, the upcoming spectrum launch of Isar Aerospace will be: the first commercial orbit launch from the mainland Europe.

Last year, a report of a former European Central Bank and former Italy’s former Prime Minister Mario Draghi advised Europe that it could increase its economic growth by recognizing Europe as a key sector. Independent access to space is also increasingly seen as geopolitics and security problems.

Europe’s space industry experienced delays in the development of Ariane 6 rockets after an accident and the suspension of the European Vega-C satellite launcher.

In addition to Isar Aerospace, Europe, Germany’s Hyimpulse and rocket factory Augsburg (RFA), French groups latitude and Maiaspace and Spain are home to the PLD area.

The British Shetland Islands, Portugal Azores and Sweden, including Esrange, various places throughout Europe were marked for alien projects. The coastal areas near the open water are considered ideal points for launch areas, as rockets do not need to fly on densely populated land areas.

England has achieved a mixed success as a launch destination. Founded by Richard Branson, the satellite launch company Virgin Orbit ended with a rocket connected to the Boeing 747 after the opening flight from Cornwall.

Isar Aerospace signed a contract with the Norwegian Space Agency to orbit two sea surveillance satellites by 2028.
