In March-April 2025, Isar Aerospace’s Spectrum rocket, launched from Andøya Spaceport, experienced failure 18 seconds after liftoff, but the data gathered was deemed valuable for future missions. SpaceX’s Fram2 mission completed the first human spaceflight to orbit Earth over both poles, conducting 22 scientific experiments. Additionally, the U.S. Space Force collaborated with Gravitics to develop an Orbital Carrier spacecraft, while SpaceX’s Starship was added to NASA’s Launch Services II contract, despite previous test flight failures. SpaceX also launched multiple Starlink missions, and Rocket Lab and Stoke Space were awarded NSSL contracts for national security space launches. The FAA concluded its investigation into Starship’s January explosion, and SpinLaunch announced plans for a broadband satellite constellation.
