German rocket startup Isar Aerospace has made history after launching a rocket to orbit from European soil for the first time.
Investors tell Impact Loop the launch demonstrates Europe’s ability to transfer its engineering research and talent into commercial ventures.
“[The launch] shows how we can build very complex systems in record time and with much less money than the US,” says Johannes von Borries, partner, UVC Partners.
