Lots of different motors and configurations. Mostly made by NAMMO Raufoss, but lots of European and American rockets too. We have great hopes for NAMMO's new North Star rocket for launching small satellites into polar orbits from Andøya Space Center.

That's like launching 200 lbs of uselessness into orbit. Sure it was necessary 50 years ago when someone had to pull levers and turn knobs to make it go...
