Isar Aerospace signs launch agreement with U.S.-based SEOPS for dedicated mission
Munich, 18 November 2025 – Satellite launch service company Isar Aerospace has signed a launch service agreement with SEOPS, a U.S.-based integration and mission services provider for a dedicated mission scheduled in 2028. Isar Aerospace’s launch vehicle ‘Spectrum’ will deploy multiple payloads into a low Earth orbit (LEO) from its dedicated launch complex at Andøya Space in Norway.
“The global demand for launch capacity from Europe continues to accelerate as nations and industries recognize the strategic importance of independent access to space,” says Stella Guillen, Chief Commercial Officer of Isar Aerospace. “We are proud to welcome SEOPS to our launch manifest. Isar Aerospace is committed to enabling our partners with scalable space capabilities that provide reliable and flexible access to orbit.”
This launch represents the first European launch under SEOPS’ LaunchLock Prime program. “This mission broadens the launch access available to our LaunchLock Prime customers,” said Evan Hoyt, Executive Vice President at SEOPS. “LaunchLock Prime was built to give customers reliable, flexible access to launch capacity tailored to their mission needs. Securing Spectrum capacity with Isar Aerospace, driven by customer demand, demonstrates how we deliver on that promise—giving our customers greater control and choice in how and where their missions reach orbit.”
