    Isar Aerospace is a German aerospace company based in Munich, Germany. The company was founded in 2018.[1] The company is named after the river that flows through Munich.[2]

    Development[edit]

    The company is developing Spectrum, a two-stage, liquid-fueled rocket designed to launch 1,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit.[3]

    Isar Aerospace intends to manufacture 80% of the rocket themselves, using primarily technology from the tech firms in the area surrounding Munich.[4]

    The first test flight of Spectrum is planned for 2024.[citation needed]

    Funding[edit]

    In April 2020 Isar Aerospace closed US$17M in Series A funding to build its space platform.[5]

    In December 2020, the company got an additional €75 million ($91 million) in funding.[6]

    In April 2021, Isar Aerospace, signed a contract with Andøya Space to lease the launch pad.[7] The 20-year deal will allow the company to launch the Spectrum.

    In July 2021, Porsche SE acquired a small stake in Isar Aerospace.[8] The financial terms of the deal are not disclosed, but it is known that in the new round of financing, the startup raised about $75 million. Porsche explained of its investment that Isar Aerospace had great potential to become a leading European manufacturer of launch vehicles.[9]

    In total, the startup had raised more than $180 million by late 2021, from investors such as HV Capital, Lakestar, Earlybird and Airbus Ventures.[9]

    In January 2022 the company won European Commission's European Innovation Council (EIC) Horizon Prize "Low-Cost Space Launch", which included a grant of 10 million Euros.[10]

    In July 2022, Isar Aerospace announced that the French space agency, the CNES, selected the startup to be the first private company launch from the Guiana Space Centre, in French Guiana. The company will use the launchpad formerly used by Diamant.[11]
