Do you have info on that? All the internet tells me that there is a tracking station there, no spaceport. And if one wanted to use a local spaceport, I suppose the Norwegian one would be close enough.

&gt; They also depend on the ESASweden is part of ESA, what a strange thing to say. Also, I believe some of the satellites will be sent from Kiruna, Sweden.

Other articles write that they are (the one satellite so far) launching with Falcon9 from Vandenberg.

What is the problem with relying on ESA when they are (a part of) ESA?

Sweden relies on foreign technology for this (US), compared to France and Germany. They also depend on the ESA&#x2F;France to put these satellites into orbit. That&#x27;s not what I would call a leader player.

If they use US tech they are just one orange temper tantrum away from losing access...

Thx, that often works, but that&#x27;s still inaccessible to me.
