Isar Aerospace has announced a new launch attempt for its Spectrum rocket.[^2]

The German space startup is based in Ottobrunn near Munich and aims to use the Spectrum vehicle to deliver civil and military satellites to low Earth orbit, a few hundred kilometers above the Earth's surface.[^1]

The announcement comes as other space activities unfold globally, including plans for a fifth Nuri rocket in Korea to carry a record 15 satellites.[^3] Those Korean satellites are designed to operate in a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 500 kilometers.[^4]
