For more than 60 years, SSC Space has launched over 1,300 sounding rockets and stratospheric balloons. Satellite communication is also conducted via large parabolic antennas that are part of a global ground station network. Thousands of experiments have reached space through Esrange \u2013 research and innovation that have helped shape the way we live today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, we are entering a new era in space. Satellites provide us with positioning, communication, weather forecasts, and precise observations of events such as wildfires, floods, and much more. The number of satellites is rapidly increasing and plays a vital role in society \u2013 from navigation and communication to climate monitoring and security. At Esrange, SSC Space is now building Europe\u2019s first mainland satellite launch capability, with the goal of enabling the space services of tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn more about why space matters \u2013 and what the future holds? Visit our unmanned exhibition just outside the gates of Esrange*. Enjoy a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and explore one of today\u2019s most dynamic and fast-growing industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*For safety and security reasons, the area inside the gates is not open to the public.
