Washington, D.C. March 19, 2024--In the heart of Germany, a rocket startup company, esteeped in the German tradition of excellence in rocketry and space technology, has been quietly making preparations for Germany’s first private launch in the new space era with a launch window presumably starting at the end of April this year. The company, HyImpulse, founded six years ago by entrepreneurial aerospace engineers from the Stuttgart University, has been working diligently on their mission in a seemingly remote part in Southern Germany, nestled close to the rocket test center of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), which has proven advantageous for the company's research and development efforts.
