Nato fund takes stake in German rocket start-up

Nato’s new €1bn venture fund is investing in Munich rocket microlauncher start-up Isar Aerospace as the alliance’s European member states seek to harness private sector space capabilities for security needs.

Boeing rejects claims that Nasa crew are 'stranded' on its spacecra...

Boeing hit back on Wednesday at suggestions that two Nasa astronauts had become “stranded” on the International Space Station because of problems encountered by the company’s Starliner spacecraft on its long-delayed first crewed flight. Nasa and Boeing decided last week to postpone, for the second time, the return flight of the spacecraft, which docked with the space station on June 6, until an unspecified date in July.

Europe’s newest rocket launches into space

Europe’s first new heavy-lift rocket in almost 30 years soared into space on Tuesday, promising an end to a crisis over the region’s ability to deploy its own satellites into orbit. Ariane 6, four years late and heavily subsidised to ensure it can compete against Elon Musk’s SpaceX, lifted off under clear skies from its launch pad near Kourou in French Guiana at about 4pm local time. The mission was judged a success by the European Space Agency, which oversees the Ariane programme, despite the…
