These are launches under ISAR’s own name in The Space Devs’ Launch Library. They don’t count missions or payloads. A spacecraft that flew on someone else’s rocket counts for the operator that flew it.
Operator or customer
An operator owns the rocket and runs the count, and the launch schedule filters by operator. A customer pays for the mission, supplies the payload and buys the ride. Some organisations are both. Below, ISAR is counted in whichever role the current schedule gives it.

No scheduled flight names ISAR with someone else flying it.
How we count it: a scheduled launch counts as a customer flight when this organisation’s name or abbreviation is in the launch name, mission name or programme, and someone else is flying it. We don’t search mission descriptions, and we only see the schedule as far as it goes, which is 2039-12-31 00:00:00Z. So treat both counts as a minimum.
About ISAR
Isar Aerospace is a German aerospace company based in Munich, Germany. The company was founded in 2018.
The label on each flight says how exact its launch time is. If the date is only known to the month, you’ll see the month and no countdown. A weather go-probability only shows when Launch Library has one for that flight. EveryLaunch doesn’t work it out.

Common questions
How many launches has Isar Aerospace flown?
Isar Aerospace has flown 2 launches under its own name. 1 succeeded and 1 failed. That counts launches it flew itself, not missions or payloads it contributed to.
What is Isar Aerospace's success rate?
50.0%. That's 1 successful flights out of 2 attempts. Its last 1 launches in a row have succeeded.
When is Isar Aerospace's next launch?
Spectrum | AT-Astra and Others (Spectrum Flight 3), set for November 26, 2026 at about 20:00 UTC from Orbital Launch Pad. Launch Library files that time to the hour, so it can be out by up to an hour. Launch times are no-earlier-than targets and can move.
Does Isar Aerospace fly its own rockets, or buy launches from another operator?
Isar Aerospace has flown 2 launches under its own name. It's the operator on 10 scheduled flights. An operator owns the rocket and runs the count. A customer pays for the mission, supplies the payload and buys the ride. The operator filter on the launch schedule only lists operators, so a well-known agency can own a mission and still not show up there.
Where is Isar Aerospace based?
Germany. Launch Library lists it as a private operator, founded in 2018.
