A missile bearing a European tropical vehicle crashed seconds after taking off in Norway

A experimental missile aimed at building the ability to launch satellites from Europe after about 40 seconds of taking off from a Norwegian space on Sunday.

The uninhabited spectrum missile, a tropical missile developed by the German passers -by, began smoking from its sides, and then returned to the ground with a powerful explosion after its launch from the Andoian Burqash in the Arctic. The company called the test trip for success.

“I met our first test trip, as it has achieved great success,” said Daniel Mitzer, CEO and co -founder of ISAR. “We had a clean take -off, 30 seconds of the flight, and until we reached the authenticity of our flight ending system.”

The company said the missile in two phases fell into the sea, adding that “the launch plate looks sound.”

The tropical missiles are designed to put loads such as satellites inside or outside the Earth’s orbit.

The explosion in Spectrum was the first tropical launch car from the European continent, with the exception of Russia, and the first funding in Europe almost exclusively by the private sector.

The launch has been postponed again and again due to weather conditions, and ISAR Aerospace has reduced expectations.

“Every second we fly good because we collect data and experience. Thirty seconds will be a great success,” Mitzer said before the launch.

“We don’t expect to reach orbit with this test. In fact, no company has yet been able to put the first orbital launch vehicle in orbit.”

The 92 -foot missile was not in two phases that carry any pregnancy for the test trip.

The Associated Press reported that ISAR Aerospace is separate from the European Space Agency, or the European Space Agency, funded by the 23 member states, according to Associated Press.

The European Space Agency launches missiles and satellites in orbit for years, but mainly from the French Joyana – the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in France in South America – and Cape Capeeral in Florida.

The first European -European launch attempt was made in 2023 by billionaire business leader Richard Branson Virgin. I tried to use the Boeing 747 to launch a rocket in southern England, but failed, which led the company to fold it.
