Will a new European launch provider reach orbit in 2025? (Everyday Astronaut 2025 Predictions)

This market is based on a poll posted on X by Tim Dodd the Everyday Astronaut.

I'm assuming that by "No" he meant there would be no attempt at a launch and by "Not successfully" he meant there would be a launch that did not reach orbit but not a successful launch.

If the result is ambiguous, I may use Everyday Astronaut's followup video, if there is one, as a source for resolution.

  • Update 2025-03-30 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Additional Clarification:

    • An unsuccessful attempt (e.g. Isar spectrum) eliminates the No attempt outcome.

    • The market will remain open if a later successful attempt occurs within the year.

Isar spectrum had an unsuccessful attempt. This rules out no attempt, but the market stays open since there might be a successful attempt later this year.

With Isar on the launch pad (attempted earlier this week but scrubbed), "No Attempt" probably should be lower.
