This note situates Isar Aerospace within the question of European strategic autonomy. Europe’s ability to put its own satellites into orbit has entered a pivotal new era, driven by an ambitious startup aiming to fill the gap left by retired and unavailable launchers. Isar Aerospace, a German NewSpace company founded in 2018, is building lightweight orbital rockets to ensure that European institutions and businesses are no longer dependent on foreign launch providers. Headquartered near Munich, the venture has quickly become emblematic of Europe’s strategic quest for autonomous access to space.
