11:13 ET -- Planet Labs's agreement to launch one of its next-generation Pelican satellites aboard an Isar Aerospace Spectrum rocket highlights growing demand for European-built space infrastructure. The companies aim to complete what they say would be the first launch of a German-built satellite on a German-built rocket within 12 months, underscoring Europe's drive to expand sovereign space capabilities as governments prioritize security and resilience. For Planet, the partnership complements its planned expansion of satellite manufacturing in Berlin, while giving the company greater access to European launch capacity as it builds out its next-generation constellation.(anvee.bhutani@wsj.com)
