The first launch of the Spectrum rocket by Isar Aerospace failed on March 30, when the device lost orientation control a few seconds after launch and crashed back to Earth.
The Spectrum rocket took off from the Annaya Cosmodrome in northern Norway at 6:30 a.m. eastern time. Weather conditions delayed the launch by more than a week. The company had a launch period from March 20 to March 31.
The rocket soared into the clear sky, but apparently lost orientation control about 25 seconds after launch, shortly after the company's webcast announcer announced that the rocket would perform a pitch maneuver designed to allow the rocket to gain horizontal speed and altitude.
