The uncrewed rocket was billed as the first attempt at an orbital flight to originate from Europe, where several nations, including Sweden and Britain, have said they want a share of a growing market for commercial space missions.

German startup Isar Aerospace, which had warned that the initial launch could end prematurely, said the test produced extensive data that its team could learn from.

"We had a clean lift-off, 30 seconds of flight and even got to validate our Flight Termination System," said Daniel Metzler, CEO and Co-founder of Isar Aerospace.

"Our first test flight met all our expectations, achieving a great success."
