         ISAR AEROSPACE SPECTRUM LAUNCH VEHICLE

Isar Aerospace, a German company, was founded in 2018, claiming 
to offer the "first fully privately funded European solution to 
meet the growing global demand for orbital launch.  It developed 
Spectrum, a two-stage launch vehicle fueled by liquid propane 
(LPG) and liquid oxygen (LOX).  

Spectrum stands 28 meters and is 2 meters in diameter.  Nine 
Aquila engines power its first stage.  A single Aquila powers the 
second stage.  Payload fairing options include 2.5 meter diameter 
variants that range up to 5.3 meters tall.   

Spectrum's initial launch site will be an Andoya Space Center in 
Norway, for sun synchronous missions.  Future lower inclination 
launches are planned from Kourou.
