Rocket carrying European orbital vehicle crashed after seconds after
takeoff in Norway

A test rocket aimed at building the ability to launch satellites from
Europe crashed about 40 seconds after takeoff from a Norwegian
spaceport on Sunday. 

The unmanned Spectrum rocket, an orbital rocket developed by German
start-up Isar Aerospace, started smoking from its sides and then
crashed back to Earth with a powerful explosion after launching from
Norway's Andoya Spaceport in the Arctic. The company called the test
flight a success.

"We do not expect to reach orbit with this test. In fact, no company
has yet managed to put its first orbital launch vehicle into orbit."
