Isar Aerospace
[ UPDATE: it got scrubbed, unfortunately:08:04 GMT+2 ∙ 09 Apr, 2026
Isar Aerospace is standing down from today’s launch attempt to evaluate a leak in a composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV).
The teams are assessing and will determine next steps.
Daniel Metzler, CEO and Co-Founder Isar Aerospace: "There is no question that we will reach orbit and demonstrate reliable access to space. Scrubs are part of rocket industry; every successful rocket company has been here. Each attempt gives us valuable experience and lessons learned on our path to orbit. Our teams are assessing the matter, and we will be back on the pad ready to launch soon."

There's a launch attempt in about 40 minutes from this posting at 20:00 from the Andoya spaceport in Norway of a German small launch vehicle. They had a previous failed attempt at the beginning of last year.
