Data: Another month have passed. "Winter is coming."

Data: https://ritspace.se/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Josef-Fleischmann.pdf

Data: Nobody have discovered the market except Isar Aerospace Technologies GMBH. No Astra, no Virgin Orbit, no Relativity, no ABL, no HyImpuls, no Skyrora, no PLD Space, no Avio, no Orbex, no Rocket Factory Augsburg AG.

Data: "Testrig run-in".

Data: "1st engine rolls off the production line", April 2021

https://sifted.eu/articles/isar-aerospace-exclusive-deal/

So: Still no main engine test for Isar Aerospace Technologues GMBH at ESRANGE 8 month after engine "roll off production line".

Consider: Isar Aerospace Technologies GMBH Launch #1 forecast Q3-2022, <9 month

Ok, Hortense, we understand that you don't like Isar.

Is your focus on monthly updates demonstrating what you regard as their continuing failure necessary? All but one of your posts on the forum are about Isar.

Hortense · « **Reply #85 on:** 02/25/2022 11:06 am »

Posting what interest me. Some people focus only SpaceX. I focus on Isar Aerospace Technologies GMBH.

I notice (above) Isar Aerospace Technologies GMBH change launch data to stay one year away. "Constant drift".

I post data I find about the company as well as a "countdown clock" against launch date announcement. Public information.

What is the problem? If they change date, I am not allowed to post? If find interesting information, not allowed to post?

Just tracking progress against public statements in specific company forum, once per month. Regular, sure, but only one post per months.

What rule is being broken please?

Ok, I'll speak as a moderator.

I suggest an "update" once a quarter, or when news about Isar is published.

Posting more often gives the appearance that your only purpose here is to harm the target of your sole "interest."

The forum serves to inform its readers, not as a vehicle for harassment.

Not sure about where to publish this but EnduroSat will fly one of its satellites on an Isar Aerospace rocket. The press release mentions "ISAR 2", which I assume refers to their second launch of the Spectrum rocket.

Isar Aerospace have published a patent (WO2023057606) about their reusability concept featuring this diagram:

A Zeppelin?

Blimp. Zeppelins are ridged bodies.

Looks like a drogue chute pulls open a side hatch and out pops an inflatable blimp envelop with some sort of small propeller popping out at figure 13. Seems a lot more expensive in both $helium and mass overhead than ocean recovery, but I've never heard of a similar system even in science fiction, so congrats on a possibly novel patent.

Kinda similar to the HAVOC balloon system for that manned venus descender NASA design to be honest.

I mean, if you're gonna use helium pressurant anyways, I suppose a balloon makes some sense...

I've attached the full patent document.

Seems like the news went under the radar, that Isar will be able to launch their rockets from Guiana apart from their existing contract with Andøya Space. CNES allocated them the Diamant launch pad east to the ELA-3. I'd say that's one major advantage they've secured against their German, British and Spanish competitors.

RFA also claimed to have plans to launch from the Diamant pad at Guiana, so that wouldn't be a unique property of Isar. Then again, that announcement is from 2020, and so may no longer be in effect.

ELD - Ensemblé de Lancement Diamant is being converted to a multiple user small launcher complex. There is additional unused land in and around the ELD complex which is available for projects and commercial companies.

Oh, I see. Thanks for letting me know. So it'll be safe to assume that ELD will become the future primary launch site for large European private launch service providers.

Our team has achieved a significant milestone of running integrated engine hotfires for 260 seconds with our in-house developed Aquila engine in multiple firings, representing significantly longer time than the engine needs to endure during flight. We exceeded the planned test objectives hotfiring one of the engines six times without any refurbishment.

ISAR Aerospace is the European Relativity: Tons of money and tons of expensive PR. Except that Relativity does innovate - like many European launcher companies - while ISAR does not.

HyImpulse builds hybrid engines.
RFA builds the only small launcher with ~~full flow~~ staged combustion engines.
Orbex builds radial tanks with propane fuel.
PLD Space builds a microlauncher with a resuable first stage

And Isar Aerospace builds ... just a plain vanilla rocket.
