  1. On 13 January 2023, the Swedish head of state, King Carl XVI Gustaf, together with European and Swedish political dignitaries will visit Esrange Space Center in northern Sweden to cut the ribbon of a new spaceport that will significantly reshape the European space landscape.

    After years of preparation and construction, European mainland’s first orbital launch complex, Spaceport Esrange, will be inaugurated.

    The event will take place in the city of Kiruna in conjunction with Sweden taking over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

  2. It is claimed that the construction of this new launch facility will contribute to building a strong European space program. The development of reusable rocketry, quick launch capabilities, and new satellite constellations in orbit will make it possible for Europe to be secure, competitive, and sustainable. Thus, Europe will become more powerful.

  3. Great job! It will certainly launch many small satellites of which Europe is an important researcher and producer.
