A German rocket flies into space

6. September 2026, 03:15

The rocket Spectrum starts well. It flies into space on Saturday. The rocket starts in Norway. This is a big success for Germany. It is the first private rocket from Europe in space.

The rocket is 28 meters high. After 4 minutes it reaches space. This border is the Karman-Linie. It is 100 kilometers above the earth. The rocket carries 5 small Satelliten. These Satelliten are now safe in their Orbit.

Europe often uses rockets from the USA. This changes now. Europe wants to send its own Satelliten into space. The young company wants to build many rockets. The government is happy about this success.
