German private rocket reaches orbit
German company Izar Aerospace has for the first time launched a rocket into Earth's orbit from Europe, specifically from the port of Andøya in Norway. This is considered a historic milestone and marks the first use by the private sector in Europe to send rockets into space. The rocket is called "SPECTRUM," stands 28 meters tall, and can carry approximately one ton. It is expected that more than 30 units will be produced annually at a factory near Munich. Europe's goal with this operation is to enhance its independent capacity to send satellites into low Earth orbit and to reduce reliance on the United States and major companies like SpaceX. This step comes after technical delays, and Germany emphasizes that this achievement reflects its strength in innovation and technical expertise. The country has plans to boost its space capabilities with an investment of 35 billion euros by 2030.
