Preparations are under way for a rocket test flight in Norway that could make history and give Europe greater independence from the market leader in orbital launches, the United States.

Isar Aerospace says it is planning to launch on 24 March between 12.30pm and 3.30pm CET, weather permitting.

          Unless there’s some kind of treaty preventing satellite warfare and that treaty is respected, the answer will be yes.
