First privately developed European rocket to reach space!
>>224488425nice
>>224488425>europeans only now making it into spaceshameful.
>>224488561>europeansgermans.
>>224488561europoors got to space earlier they just launched from guyana
Wait, how were these euro pensioners getting satellites up before this was possible for them?
>>224488425>>224488561did you know that italy was the third country in the world to launcha satellite into orbit?
>>224488657it was a big event because showed that not only the 2 superpowers of the time could into space
>>224488425Rockets are not difficult, if India can send them to Mars and Moon.
private bad
>>224488696
>>224488721
>>224488533Very aesthetic rocket and launch site.
>>224488645From French Guiana, a French territory in South America.
>>224488747>propane rocketwhy propane
>>224488561Germans reached space in 1944
Did you know that Italy has its own base to launch rockets into space? It's called Luigi Broglio and its loated in kenya
>>224488747apparently Germany is looking at co-using a planned Turkish spaceport in Somalia too bc launching heavier payloads is easier from locations closer tl the equator.
>>224488425This happened in Norway, the most important country in Europe. Shithole Europe would collapse if it wasn't for us so show us some respect
>>224488845we're gonna bomb it from somaliland soon
>>224488845Isar will also have its dedicated launchpad in French Guiana.
>>224488787
>>224488845>Germano-somali-turk space allianceWhat could go wrong?
>>224488869always love to hear your incel opinion pp!>>224488876that's a better alternative>>224488916it's not that hard for Turkey to put a few soldiers there and defend it from starvin' marvin insurgentsit's useful due to the geographic location, that's it
>>224488425Pegasus sent a payload to orbit in 1990, what took European companies so long?
>>224488657>american rocketThe real third one is France with Asterix and Diamant
>>224489073Europe is a terrible place to launch rockets from, so we usually launch from South America.
>>224488982>Turkey to put a few soldiers there and defend it from starvin' marvin insurgents>starvin' marvin insurgentsDint those starvin' marvin insurgents defeated the US? Oh boy, this is going to be funny.
>>224489361no they didn'tcapping a few US soldiers on an ambush in a convoy is not the same as taking an established basedumb weeb
>>224488425Neat
>>224489182Not talking about location, talking about development.
>>224489533Ah then they are usually launched by either Ariane or Avio, but neither of those is fully privately funded. This is an actual startup.
>>224488425Swag. Maybe we can finally visit our brethrens on their moon base and disappoint them.
>>224489379Yes, I bet a bunch of roaches with cold war shiet will do a perfect job defending those scientists from the Somalis. I still remember when the Germans were going to put in MAGLEV trains in Germany and because of a single accident they cancelled the whole project, wasting billions, Now they want to launch rockets from a shithole torn by war, LMAO.
>>224488810correct"After an altitude of 100 km was selected to define the edge of space, the V-2 rocket also became retroactively the first artificial object to travel into space with the vertical launch of MW 18014 on 20 June 1944."https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregat_4
>>224489730>After an altitude of 100 km was selected to define the edge of spaceIf my memory serves me right, the V-2 could reach altitudes of 150km, pretty impressive for something made in the 40s
>>224489999checkednot sure if it could reach 150km but anyway.made in the 40s, decades ahead of amis and ruskis!"Am 20. Juni 1944 wurde bei einem Senkrechtstart eine Rekordhöhe von 174,6 km erzielt. Bereits zwei Tage zuvor hatte die Rakete mit der Werk-Nr. MW 18012 eine Gipfelhöhe von etwa 127 km erreicht;[19] damit übertraf diese Rakete die heutige anerkannte Weltraumgrenze von 100 km Höhe (die Kármán-Linie) deutlich und war der erste menschengemachte Gegenstand im Weltraum."
Bery nice
>>224489999you can still see some V2 and parts here in the underground tunnels where they been produced. i have been there, it is impressive!nearest city is Nordhausen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mittelbau-Dora_concentration_camphttps://www.v2rocket.com/start/chapters/mittelwerk-today.htmlhttps://www.gettyimages.dk/photos/dora-concentration-camp
