The seven small satellite payloads from these organizations will be used to demonstrate various technologies in space, such as communication or weather data measurement.<\/p>\n<p>The selections were made public on Monday. This was the next step in the DLR\/<strong>European Space Agency <\/strong>(ESA)-managed \u201cmicrolauncher competition\u201d program that Isar won in April of this year. This program helped establish a public-private partnership between Isar Aerospace and the German Space Agency.<\/p>\n<p>Isar Aerospace is one of Europe\u2019s newer privately-owned launch services to establish a presence in the small and medium satellite operator market. The microlauncher competition gave Isar access to 11 million euros ($12.4 million) in financing for its first two flights from the German government under the ESA C-STS program. ESA created C-STS to help new companies transport institutional payloads into orbit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased to announce the selection of payloads for the first flight of Spectrum and thank the German Space Agency at DLR and the institutions for their trust,\u201d Isar Aerospace CEO Daniel Metzler said in the December 13 announcement. \u201cIt is great to be part of this pioneering program and we are looking forward to further shaping the cooperation between the public and private sector in European spaceflight. This collaboration will further contribute to the development of research and technology in space and will help growing the overall private space ecosystem in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The German Space Agency at DLR and Isar Aerospace selected seven payloads from five institutions in Germany, Norway, and Slovenia to ride on the late 2022 maiden flight of Isar\u2019s Spectrum rocket.
