HyImpulse has signed a launch‑services agreement with SaxaVord Spaceport to fly the second suborbital SR75 from Unst, targeting Q3 2026 (earliest H2 2026). The German startup’s SR75 uses an unusual propellant; the campaign advances UK spaceport use and European small‑launcher capability.

Briefing
Confirms a planned second SR75 suborbital flight from Unst, formalizing HyImpulse’s near‑term test schedule and use of SaxaVord facilities (see SaxaVord pad commissioning).
Adds flight heritage and propulsion data for an emerging European small‑launcher: the SR75’s second flight and its unconventional propellant are material to launcher maturity and tech validation (see Europe's expanding launch footprint).
Strengthens commercial utilisation of UK spaceports and complements other German launcher campaigns preparing SaxaVord, increasing operational cadence and infrastructure demand (see related German launcher activity).
