Daniel Metzler, CEO and Co-Founder of Isar Aerospace, said: “Access to space remains one of the biggest constraints for the space industry and national security architecture. We have built the infrastructure and capabilities to change that. As we prepare for our qualification flight, our goal remains clear: learn as much as we can, go as far as we can.” Mission 'Onward and Upward' scrubbed 08:06 GMT+2 ∙ 15 Jun, 2026 Isar Aerospace is standing down from today’s launch attempt. We are still detecting off nominal behavior in the vehicle's fluid systems, the teams are analyzing the new data to isolate the root cause. NOSA Director General on second flight 10:06 GMT+2 ∙ 15 Jun, 2026 “What I’m seeing here today compared to three years ago is amazing. Congratulations to Isar Aerospace – this second launch marks an important milestone in commercializing space in Europe. What Isar Aerospace is doing jointly with Andøya Space is tremendously important, not only for commercialization but also for providing Europe with the access to space we need. We’re especially proud that this mission carries a Norwegian student satellite. Good luck, Isar! Godspeed! We cross our fingers for this exercise.”
