00:00 In April 2024, the first rocket from the German North Sea Platform is to take off.
00:06 In the future, satellites are to be brought into space there.
00:10 In the German North Sea, the first launch of a rocket is planned for April 2024.
00:17 Siegfried Russwurm, President of the Federal Association of the German Industry (BDI), announced
00:24 this on Wednesday at a BDI space congress in Berlin.
00:28 As part of a demo mission, a rocket of the Dutch company T-Minus is to be lifted off
00:33 a mobile launch platform of the German Offshore Space Board Alliance in the North Sea for
00:38 the first time.
00:39 In the future, European microlaunchers, i.e. mini-rockets, are to be launched from the platform
00:45 and transported to space by satellites.
00:47 The BDI initiated this project at its first space congress four years ago.
00:54 The rocket is to be launched from a special ship with a launch ramp into space, which
01:00 is then the German Space Station.
01:03 According to BDI, the ship's home port is to be Bremerhaven.
01:07 The launch site for the rocket is located in the so-called "duck's beak" of the exclusive
01:13 German economic zone, about 350 km off the coast.
01:17 The "duck's beak" is the most remote corner of this zone, in which Germany still has certain
01:24 sovereignty rights.
01:25 The Bremer space company OHB is part of the operator consortium of the Space Board Alliance.
01:33 Russwurm at the same time demanded greater ambitions in space policy from the federal government.
01:39 The background is NewSpace, an increasing commercialization of space travel.
01:45 There is great potential, as a new study by the strategic advisory board Roland Berger
01:50 and the BDI has shown.
01:52 Russwurm - applies to more and more industries.
01:56 Who is not at the forefront in space will not be a technology leader on earth.
