Space

 

Europa higer etter base for å få skutt opp smallsats, helst i Europa. ISAR Aerospace har enda ikke lykkes på Andøya etter en etter min oppfatning mislykket oppskytning. Samtidig maser EU om at Norge ikke kvalifiserer for slike oppslytninger som de mener bør skje fra et EU land. ISAR er i kontakt med Canada og visstnok også EsRange ved Kiruna. Vel, ISARs vyer kan du lese om under. (Red.)

Sam Arne Whalley, sales manager for German launch startup Isar Aerospace, said there is an urgent need in Europe for sovereign access to space. The key question is how can European launch providers can be built to meet the need of European customers today.

Whalley said there has been an “explosion in requests” for missions up to 2035, and Isar Aerospace is working to manufacture up to 40 vehicles per year, building a new factory. “The technology is there, the market is there,” he said.
