Etter planen skulle den første raketten fra Fastlands-Europa skytes opp fra Andøya i 21-tiden onsdag kveld.

Det tyske selskapet Isar Aerospace opplyser imidlertid at rakettoppskytningen er avlyst på grunn av teknisk problem, skriver Isar Aerospace i en pressemelding onsdag ettermiddag.

Selskapet vil kunngjøre ny dato for å forsøke å skyte opp raketten om kort tid, skriver de.

Om rakettoppskytningen blir et faktum senere i januar, kan det bli første gang en bærerakett for satellitter skytes opp fra Fastlands-Europa og lykkes. Det forrige forsøket – også fra Andøya – i fjor, endte med at raketten falt i sjøen etter få sekunder. Det var likevel en suksess for Isar Aerospace, som står bak oppskytningen.

Det nye oppdraget har fått navnet «Onward and Upward».

NATO

Ikke akkurat utmelding av USA, men noe som likner. Ingen ting om Article 5. (Red.)

NATO 2035. Air Force Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, commander of U.S. European Command, told lawmakers on March 18 he believes European partners will be able to assume most of NATO’s responsibilities by 2035. “The way I think about it is they’ll be a lot better by 2035 than they are in 2030. And by 2035, I think they can assume most of the responsibilities. And every day between now and then, they get better and better and take on more of that burden,” Grynkewich said during a House Armed Services Committee hearing. Top Pentagon policy official Elbridge Colby has called for a “NATO 3.0” model based around European nations taking on increased responsibilities and defense expenditures and a U.S. role of “partnership rather than dependency.” “For the first time in a long time, money is not the problem in Europe. European allies are spending more and more of their budgets [ on defense]. We have five or six allies who, this year, are going to exceed five percent [of GDP] on core defense spending. So that’s a good news story. And several other economies are on their way through three to 3.5 percent,” Grynkewich said.
