德国商业航天公司Isar Aerospace于2026年9月5日22:12（中欧时间）从挪威Andøya航天基地成功发射第二次轨道任务，标志着欧洲在商业太空运输领域取得重大突破1。此次名为"Onward and Upward"的任务成功越过卡门线（100公里高度），并部署了由德国航天局微型运载火箭竞赛选中的有效载荷，使Isar Aerospace成为欧洲首家将卫星送入轨道的商业航天公司1。Isar Aerospace首席执行官丹尼尔·梅茨勒表示："我们在几年内完成了欧洲航天工业花了几十年才完成的事"1。
为适应未来增长，Isar Aerospace已建成40,000平方米的新生产设施，最终年产能将达40枚运载火箭，其中Spectrum系列运载火箭3-7号已在生产中1。该公司正在加拿大新斯科舍省建设新的发射场1。此次成功任务标志着欧洲获得了主权太空通道1。
German space company Isar Aerospace successfully completed its second orbital mission on September 5, 2026, at 22:12 CEST, marking a significant milestone as Europe's first commercial spaceflight operator to deliver satellites to orbit 1. The "Onward and Upward" mission launched from Andøya Space in Norway, where it successfully deployed payloads selected through the German Space Agency's micro-launcher competition, establishing Europe's sovereign access to space 1.
The Spectrum rocket crossed the Karman Line at 100 kilometers altitude, achieving full orbital capability 1. CEO Daniel Metzler reflected on the achievement, stating: "We accomplished in a few years what took the European aerospace industry several decades to complete" 1. The company is already scaling production, with Spectrum models 3 through 7 currently in manufacturing 1. A new 40,000-square-meter production facility is under development with an eventual target capacity of 40 rockets annually, while a launch site in Nova Scotia, Canada, is being constructed to support expanded operations 1.
