Swedish Space Corporation: An arctic gateway to space
Two hundred kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, surrounded by the vast wilderness of Swedish Lapland, lies the space centre Esrange. During its more than forty years of operation, over 500 sounding rockets and a similar amount of stratospheric balloons have been launched from here for scientific research. NIB Newsletter visited this unique site, which is undergoing a large-scale development project, partly financed by NIB.
