About Isar Aerospace

Isar Aerospace builds and launches small orbital rockets from Ottobrunn near Munich, with test operations in Norway and Sweden. It is the largest board here by some distance and genuinely an engineering one — software, test and manufacturing rather than back office. Hardware timelines are long and public setbacks are part of the work.
