About this report
Europe’s pursuit of strategic autonomy in space has given rise to a new class of launch providers, with Germany’s Isar Aerospace at the forefront. Founded in 2018 in Ottobrunn, Bavaria, Isar Aerospace is developing orbital rockets to serve the booming small-satellite market.
Its emergence comes at a pivotal moment: the continent has long relied on non-European rockets – from Russian Soyuz to U.S. commercial launchers – for critical missions. In the wake of geopolitical rifts and heightened security concerns, a homegrown alternative is no longer just an economic venture but a strategic necessity.
