Isar Aerospace is working toward the second flight of its Spectrum rocket from Norway.

Isar Aerospace has partnered with German maritime defence company TKMS to establish a sovereign Canadian launch capability.

The Isar Aerospace agreement with Maritime Launch Services is intended to expand Isar Aerospace’s launch services to mid- to high-inclination orbits for commercial and government clients.

Isar Aerospace and TKMS committed significant investment to building a Canadian launch complex.

The agreement will allow Isar Aerospace to expand its launch services to cover mid- to high-inclination orbits for commercial and government clients.

The Maritime Launch Services agreement will allow Isar Aerospace to expand its launch services to cover mid- to high-inclination orbits for commercial and government clients.

Isar Aerospace launched Spectrum once in March 2025, and the flight failed less than 30 seconds after liftoff.

Isar Aerospace has signed an agreement with Maritime Launch Services to conduct launches from Maritime Launch Services’ planned spaceport in Nova Scotia.

The composite overwrapped pressure vessel in Spectrum stores high-pressure gas to pressurize propellant tanks and actuate valves.
