From Isar Aerospace: Mission ‘Onward and Upward’ scrubbed.The launch of our qualification flight has been aborted during autosequence. After a hold in countdown due to a range violation of the danger area by an unauthorized boat, the countdown reset exceeded our launch window. Isar Aerospace is working to determine a new launch window together with Andøya Space. Further updates will follow as soon as possible. |

The launch attempt was scrubbed "because of issues with the vehicles fluid system." No new date has been announced yet. |
