Isar Aerospace is standing down from today’s launch attempt to evaluate a leak in a composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV).

The teams are assessing and will determine next steps.

Daniel Metzler, CEO and Co-Founder Isar Aerospace: "There is no question that we will reach orbit and demonstrate reliable access to space. Scrubs are part of rocket industry; every successful rocket company has been here. Each attempt gives us valuable experience and lessons learned on our path to orbit. Our teams are assessing the matter, and we will be back on the pad ready to launch soon."
