Sweden has signed an agreement with the FAA to coordinate on the licensing of US rocket launches from Esrange. The Swedish National Space Agency has signed an agreement with the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to cooperate on the licensing of US rocket launches from Sweden's Esrange Space Centre. While the Esrange Space Centre has been in operation since the 1960s, it has strictly been used for suborbital flights.
Useful if the agreement materially opens Esrange to U.S.-licensed orbital launches.
Watch for licensing detail, operator interest, and any timetable for Esrange orbital campaigns.
