Isar Aerospace afbryder igen opsendelse af Spectrum fra Andøya på grund af formodet lækage

Den bayerske rumfartsvirksomhed Isar Aerospace aflyste torsdag sit seneste testflyvningsforsøg med løfteraketten Spectrum fra den norske rumhavn Andøya grundet mistanke om en lækage i en trykbeholder. Dette følger en afbrydelse den 25. marts forårsaget af et sikkerhedsproblem. Administrerende direktør Daniel Metzler lovede et nyt forsøg snart.

Cirka en time før den planlagte opsendelse annoncerede Isar Aerospace aflysningen af testflyvningen med den 28 meter lange Spectrum-raket, der indgår i missionen 'Onward and Upward', som medbringer fem forskningssatellitter. Mikroløfteraketten er designet til nyttelast på op til ét ton. Dette markerer det seneste tilbageslag efter afbrydelsen i slutningen af marts – hvor nedtællingen blev stoppet sekunder før tænding på grund af en båd i sikkerhedszonen – samt den første test for et år siden, som styrtede i havet kort efter opsendelsen. "Det er hævet over enhver tvivl, at vi vil nå Jordens kredsløb og bevise en pålidelig adgang til rummet," udtalte administrerende direktør Daniel Metzler. "Opsendelsesafbrydelser er en del af raketindustrien; enhver succesfuld rumfartsvirksomhed har oplevet dette. Hvert forsøg giver værdifuld erfaring. Vi vil snart være klar til opsendelse igen."

Tokyo-based space startup Space One canceled the launch of its Kairos No. 3 small rocket shortly before liftoff on March 4 from Spaceport Kii in Kushimoto, Wakayama Prefecture, after a safety system activated. The launch was scheduled for 11 a.m., but halted 30 seconds prior. The company plans a press conference that afternoon to explain the incident.

Blue Origin has announced that its next New Glenn rocket launch will reuse a booster from a recent mission, marking a rapid turnaround in orbital rocket reuse. The NG-3 mission, set for no earlier than late February, will deploy a communications satellite for AST SpaceMobile from Cape Canaveral. This follows the successful NG-2 flight in November and highlights the company's progress toward faster launch cadences.

NASA has set March 6 as the earliest possible launch date for the Artemis II mission following a successful second fueling test of its Space Launch System rocket. The test at Kennedy Space Center resolved issues from an earlier attempt marred by a hydrogen leak. The mission will send four astronauts around the Moon in a crewed test of the Orion spacecraft.

Orion spacecraft from Artemis 2 mission has completed its final maneuver before atmospheric reentry, the most critical phase of the journey. Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen face a 13-minute descent at over 40,000 km/h and temperatures above 2,500 degrees, with splashdown planned off San Diego.

SpaceX's Starlink division confirmed an anomaly with satellite 34343 at around 560 km altitude, resulting in loss of contact and the satellite breaking into tens of pieces. LeoLabs detected the fragment creation event using its radar network in the Azores, Portugal, and described it as likely caused by an internal energetic source. The company stated there is no new risk to other space operations.
