SpaceX continues to advance its Starship program with a successful test fire of a reused Super Heavy booster, potentially allowing for its first reflight soon. This development is critical following previous failures due to propulsion issues. Concurrently, the European commercial launch scene is gaining momentum, exemplified by Isar Aerospace's first launch attempt, although it ended in a crash. The company, having secured substantial funding, symbolizes a new era with several European startups aiming for orbital launches in the near future.
The first Super Heavy reuse will be a step towards our goal of zero-touch reflight.
This sets up the possibility of a reused Super Heavy rocket launching within the next several weeks, an important step forward in the Starship launch program.
Learning to embrace failure says Isar Aerospace, which is the first in a crop of new European rocket companies attempting an orbital launch.
The European launch industry is heating up after a long period of development, with Isar having raised over 400 million euros primarily from venture capital.
