Sunday’s test flight was part of Europe’s efforts to develop an independent space program.
On Sunday, the Andøya of Norway tried a historic trick as the Spectrum strain of German Isar Aerospace was attempted to launch the country’s circular track.
This was the first time the space rocket was launched from continental Europe.
However, the company ended dramatically when a 28-meter rocket crashed only for seconds after the launch. The fall of the rocket caused a spectacular explosion.
The launch of the Spectrum rocket had to be postponed several times due to difficult weather conditions. Rocket manufacturer Isar Aerospace sought his best to curb expectations.
– Every second we fly is good. We collect information and experience, the company’s leader Daniel Metzler said before the trigger.
The Spectrum carrier is intended to carry heavy loads such as satellites into space. However, Sunday’s test flight was made without a load.
The test flight was related to Europe’s efforts to develop an independent space program.
