WHAT A FLIGHT!
On our first flight today we got to a clean liftoff, 30sec of flight, and didn't blow up the pad in the meantime.
Super proud of our team @isaraerospace

- Today we know twice as much about our launch system as yesterday before launch. Can't beat flight testing. Ploughing through lots of data now.
- Great first launch attempt today. Quite a few firsts that our team checked off the list. We're monitoring weather and attempt again as soon as possible. Well done, team.
Replying to @isaraerospaceThe first test flight of #Spectrum is scrubbed due to unfavorable winds. Launch vehicle and range remain healthy, and the team is working to determine a new launch window together with @AndoyaSpace Spaceport. Well done team for today’s attempt. #goingfullspectrum - Bavarian prime minister @Markus_Soeder visited again today. First time around, 5years ago, the factory was empty. This time it was completely full. And we'll scale much bigger soon. Time to reindustrialize Europe.
