Norwegian spaceport receives government license
A Norwegian spaceport is a step closer to hosting the first orbital launch for Isar Aerospace after receiving a government license.
Andøya Spaceport announced Aug. 22 that it received a license from Norway’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries that allows it to conduct launches from the site, located on the island of Andøya north of the Arctic Circle.
The spaceport will be the initial launch site for Isar Aerospace, the German company developing the Spectrum small launch vehicle. The spaceport formally marked completion of the pad that Spectrum will launch from last November.
