I have updated Platform-6’s configuration on the DB.
Furthermore, we have made a TLE based upon the state vector from ISAR:
1 98405U 26072END 26084.88583771 .00000000 00000-0 78483-3 0 9993
2 98405 97.3981 160.9490 0011291 301.2402 22.8277 15.19404090 00012
I have used the same numbering system on the DB.
@yurimdias for which launch time is this TLE?
@fredy This was for the original time of 20:06 UTC, which is not happening anymore now. I’ll update if we have anything from Isar.
Used the TLE you provided with the new launch time, so for 2026-03-25 20:20:59 UTC:
Platform-6
1 98405U 14900A 26084.89625438 .00000000 00000-0 78483-3 0 01

Unfortunately the launch was scrubbed, we will wait the next hours/days for a new launch datetime.
Update on this from the ISAR twitter/X account https://x.com/isaraerospace/status/2041817626024788466
Targeting NET 9 April for the launch of Mission ‘Onward and Upward’ during the available launch window, which opens at 8pm UTC; 10pm CEST.
The final date remains subject to weather, safety and range infrastructure.
From: Mission Updates Overview - Isar Aerospace
Isar Aerospace is targeting NET 9 April to launch Mission ‘Onward and Upward’ during the available launch window, which opens at 8pm UTC; 10pm CEST. The final date remains subject to weather, safety and range infrastructure.
The second flight and qualification mission of Isar Aerospace’s ‘Spectrum’ launch vehicle will be broadcast live on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/Ss1DUqLjecc
The livestream will start at approximately:
T-01h00min 9:00pm CEST 7:00pm UTC 3:00pm EDT
It looks like we will wait a little more for this launch:
Isar Aerospace is standing down from today’s launch attempt to evaluate a leak in a composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV).
The teams are assessing and will determine next steps.
Daniel Metzler, CEO and Co-Founder Isar Aerospace: “There is no question that we will reach orbit and demonstrate reliable access to space. Scrubs are part of rocket industry; every successful rocket company has been here. Each attempt gives us valuable experience and lessons learned on our path to orbit. Our teams are assessing the matter, and we will be back on the pad ready to launch soon.”
Isar annouced a new launch window beginning tomorrow evening at 20:00 UTC, live stream starts an hour earlier:
Mission Updates Overview - Isar Aerospace
Isar Aerospace is targeting NET 15 June to launch Mission ‘Onward and Upward’ during the available launch window, which opens at 8pm UTC; 10pm CEST. The final date remains subject to weather, safety and range availability.
Mission objective: operational qualification
Mission ‘Onward and Upward’ is Isar Aerospace’s second flight and qualification mission for the Spectrum launch vehicle. The mission carries five CubeSats and one experiment and aims to validate the vehicle’s critical systems under operational conditions. The mission is supported by ESA’s Boost! Programme.
Livestream
The mission will be broadcast live on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/Ss1DUqLjecc?feature=share
The livestream will start at approximately:
T-01h00min
9:00pm CEST
7:00pm UTC

Launch is postponed 
08:06 GMT+2 ∙ 15 Jun, 2026
Isar Aerospace is standing down from today’s launch attempt. We are still detecting off nominal behavior in the vehicle’s fluid systems, the teams are analyzing the new data to isolate the root cause.
New launch datetime: 2026-09-04 20:00 UTC
Here is also the thread in the nasaspaceflight forum.
We are going to prepare/update DB entries and scheduling in Network tomorrow close to the launch time.
Is Platform-6 (98405) the only satellite of interest on this launch?
Since the thread goes back so far, I didn’t know if all the details were the same or what.
Thanks!
Oh! -6- sats, then. Thanks a million!
can we update the tle just using propagate tools from sattools ?
The launch is now scheduled for tomorrow 2026-09-05 20:00 UTC
Looking at the epoch from these TLE Wed Mar 25 2026 20:30:36 propagate gives us:
propagate -c p.tle -i 98405 -t 2026-09-05T20:00:00

I hope someone from the team can validate these.
