ISAR Aerospace 5 Sept Mission Onward and Upward

On September 5, 2026, ISAR Aerospace became the first European commercial space company to successfully deliver satellites to orbit on only its second flight, lifting off from its launch complex in Andøya, Norway. The mission, called "Onward and Upward," achieved multiple milestones in European commercial spaceflight and demonstrates the company's orbital capability, providing customers with a sovereign European launch alternative. ISAR Aerospace is now scaling production and expanding its global launch infrastructure, including a new facility in Nova Scotia, Canada.
