Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA) is “a matter of weeks” away from attempting its first orbital launch, according to the chief executive of its corporate parent.

He noted that all three stages of the rocket as well as its payloads are now at the spaceport, with the second stage and kick stage already fully tested. The first stage has undergone static-fire tests with four of its nine engines there. All nine engines are now installed, Fuchs said, and static-fire tests with all nine are pending.

Sounds promising! Looking forward to another orbital launch vehicle!
