" summary

A roadmap emerges: a small‑launcher company reports a successful suborbital test, a vertically integrated test site in Teruel and a reusability demonstrator proven in 2019, and puts 30 launchers on order while targeting 30 launches per year by 2030 and a financial break‑even at 5–6 launches/year. European policy options on the table are strict European preference for procurement, an EU demand aggregation platform, and an ESA “launcher challenge” to pick mission winners while heavier institutional vehicles (Ariane 6, Vega C) return from delays.
