Itโs unclear which of the launch startups can make it over the #technical hurdles to host regular and reliable launches from #European ๐ช๐บ launch sites. Given the demand for their services, long-term success for launchers will depend almost entirely on their internal #economics as opposed to external market forces https://payloadspace.com/european-launchers-are-racking-up-bookings/
#Skyrora
"Despite having a vehicle ready and a #launch license, it is unlikely that #Skyrora will be able to complete its launch from the #UK ๐ฌ๐ง this year". The company had options to launch from #Australia ๐ฆ๐บ, #Oman and potentially #Iceland ๐ฎ๐ธ https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/uk-grants-space-launch-licence-scottish-firm-2025-08-04

A number of companies are working to become the first to launch satellites into space from European soil, with several planning on using #SaxaVord ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Spaceport. Germanyโs ๐ฉ๐ช #RFA is thought to have the most advanced plans https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/lanarkshire-scottish-north-lanarkshire-iceland-european-b1211534.html
Starting in ๐ 2025, at least two #European ๐ช๐บ launch startups (#IsarAerospace and #RocketFactory Augsburg) expect to offer more choices for both institutional and commercial customers. The field will continue to widen toward the close of the decade, with #MaiaSpace, #Latitude, #HyImpulse, #HyPrSpace, #Orbex, #PLDSpace, and #Skyrora all working toward an inaugural flight of their respective vehicles. https://europeanspaceflight.com/arianegroup-already-working-to-secure-iris2-launch-contract
Did anyone else get an email from #AmbaSat saying that a rocket launch to space is happen in 2Q 2025 and to test your board with the dashboard?

The new #Ariane 6 rocket, which is running four years late โณ and still hasn't flown, should be the last #LaunchVehicle developed by #ESA, which will launch a competition of #launchers without weight class limitations. The field of startup launch companies in #Europe ๐ช๐บ includes German ๐ฉ๐ช firms like #HyImpulse, #RocketFactory Augsburg, and #IsarAerospace; British ๐ฌ๐ง companies such as #Skyrora and #Orbex; and Spain's ๐ช๐ธ #PLDSpace. #ESA will use around 75 million euros ๐ฐ to pay for the early stages of the #cargo ๐ฆ challenge, which #Aschbacher expects will result in three companies competing with one another https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/after-the-sting-of-ariane-6-europe-finally-embraces-commercial-rockets/
Last but not least we have "Skyrora XL" by "Skyrora" also based in the #UK ๐ฌ๐ง
It's 3 Stages are designed to bring a Payload of 315kg into a 500km high Orbit around earth. It will be powered by nine hydrogen peroxideโkerosene engines, the same used in the "Skylark L".
It's development is a little behind some previous mentions and first Hot-Fire tests are scheduled for mid-2023
