During the SpaceTech Expo, SEOPS announced the acquisition of a specialized launch module on the Spectrum rocket from Isar Aerospace. Launch, scheduled for 2028 year, is SEOPS' first collaboration with Isar Aerospace, which expands the company's European launch capabilities. Thanks to LaunchLock Prime from SEOPS, such customers, як Axient Systems BV, gain access to pre-provisioned SEOPS facilities, a network of reliable suppliers and engineering support under one contract, while maintaining full control over the choice of vehicles, frequency of missions and equipment compatibility. The LaunchLock Prime program is an individual multidisciplinary structure, designed to reduce procurement complexity and increase access to capacity for launches.
Spectrum is the first European launch under the LaunchLock Prime program, which provides new opportunities for SEOPS customers, while strengthening Isar Aerospace's growing role in the European small launch market. According to the agreement, SEOPS expands launch options, available to its LaunchLock Prime customers, introducing European capabilities with Isar Aerospace's Spectrum rocket, a two-stage launch vehicle, operating from Andeja Spaceport in Norway, which is able to deliver to 1000 kilograms into low Earth orbit (LEO) and 700 kilograms into near-Earth orbit (SSO).
SEOPS' LaunchLock Prime program provides Axient and its customers with a portfolio of launch options and pre-provisioned capacity. This model enables seamless collaboration between Axient customers, responsible for the mission, and the SEOPS global launch network, creating a repeatable foundation for the future growth of the European constellation.
