An #RFA spokesperson said that the launch 🚀 would likely be the rocket’s third flight, following its first two test flights.

amount €902.16 million 💰https://europeanspaceflight.com/over-e900-million-committed-to-european-launcher-challenge/
In 📆 2022, Germany was the largest #ESA contributor, providing about 3.5 billion euros 💰 for three years.
With the next ministerial scheduled for Nov. 26-27, industry speculation 🔮 has suggested #Germany 🇩🇪 will offer between 4.5 and 5 billion euros 📈. Some expected the German military to support #IsarAerospace and #RocketFactory Augsburg. The #Canadian 🇨🇦 government will increase its funding by $375.9 million https://spacenews.com/industry-expects-germany-to-increase-esa-contributions/
While #Germany’s heavy-lift needs will continue to be met by #Ariane6, domestic small-launch providers such as #RocketFactory Augsburg, #IsarAerospace, and #HyImpulse are likely to see a boost in support 💰 https://europeanspaceflight.com/germany-commits-e35-billion-to-space-related-defence-projects/

A number of companies are working to become the first to launch satellites into space from European soil, with several planning on using #SaxaVord 🏴 Spaceport. Germany’s 🇩🇪 #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 📆 2025, at least two #European 🇪🇺 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

The German 🇩🇪 government has announced that it will make €95 million in additional funding available to support #IsarAerospace, #RocketFactory Augsburg, and #HyImpulse. The funding was “released through reallocations and in some cases also higher subscriptions of German #ESA contributions.” https://europeanspaceflight.com/germany-commits-e95m-more-to-isar-rfa-and-hyimpulse

🇪🇺 #Europe’s space sector has started to respond to #SpaceX’s domination of the world space launch market, although progress has been slow ⏳ and uneven.

It's likely that rockets 🚀 built by the likes of #Spain's 🇪🇸 #PLDSpace, #France's 🇫🇷 #MaiaSpace, and the #German 🇩🇪 duo #IsarAerospace and #RocketFactory Augsburg will also be blasting off from the center soon under the start-up plan. Efforts to drag the #spaceport into the 21st century are underway https://www.politico.eu/article/russian-rockets-clog-europes-south-american-spaceport
German 🇩🇪 rocket start-up #RocketFactory Augsburg last week described #Ariane6 as “overpriced” 💰, saying its development “at the #taxpayer’s expense has shown that something has to change” https://www.ft.com/content/2abdea1a-d985-4f25-90ee-af74524b736f

Fanoušci kosmonautiky už tuší: RFA neboli Rocket Factory Augsburg se snaží o vícenásobně použitelný nosič a je to tedy potenciální evropská konkurence pro Elona. Česká solární výprava náhodou jela kolem, protože @cobic -ovi na kole praskaj dráty a naproti "fabrice na rakety" je cyklosupermarket.

At the end of 📆 2022, the total funding 💶 secured by all #European 🇪🇺 launch startups since 2011 was €419 million. In 📆 2023, that figure rose to €781 million, an 86% increase 📈 in the industry's total funding to date. In the first month and a half of 📆 2024 alone, another €70.5 million has been added to that figure. With the addition of that early 2024 funding, the total comes to €850 million 💰 https://europeanspaceflight.substack.com/p/state-of-european-launch-startup
