Rocket crashed on earth a few moments after launch in Norway

A test rocket aimed at launching European satellite launches collapsed on earth a few moments after taking off.

The unmanned Spectrum rocket, which took off on Sunday a Norwegian space, was presented as the first attempt at the coming orbital flight from Europe.

The German start-up Isar Aerospace developed the rocket and had warned before the test that the initial launch could end prematurely. The company said 30 seconds of flight were sufficient to save data.

“Our first test flight met all of our expectations, reaching great success,” said the company’s co-founder Daniel Metzler.
