As a person involved in the operations side of this campaign. HOLY SHIT we did it!

With a pretty good sized rocket as well. 4x Rocket Lab’s Electron payload and 4x to 9x smaller than Falcon 9.
huhtenberg•2m ago
Electron: 18 m tall, 1.8 m in ø, 300 kg to LEO

Isar: 28 m tall, 2.0 m in ø, 1000 kg to LEO, but can also put 700 kg to sun-synchronous orbit

So looks like Rocket Lab got some incoming competition.

How does Isar Aerospace fit in with other smaller rocket launchers?

I'd imagine they are well behind, say, RKLB, but how far are they from commercial launches?

This second launch included some payloads - cube sats.
