Isar Aerospace is set to launch its Spectrum rocket for the second time on January 21 from Andøya, Norway, pending weather conditions. The mission, named 'Onward and Upward', will carry five CubeSats and an experiment, supported by the ESA's Boost! program to enhance European space access. Following a brief first test flight in March 2025, Isar aims to validate critical systems and plans to produce five additional rockets at a new facility near Munich, opening in 2026.
