This summer, Harvard researchers working on a project called Scopex were supposed to fly a literal trial balloon over Sweden. This would have been the first step toward testing a potential method to moderate global warming by releasing small quantities of particles into the atmosphere. Early on, Harvard established an independent advisory committee to provide advice on the science and risks of the proposed experiment, as well as on the need for stakeholder engagement. Recently, however, the Swedish Space Corporation canceled the flight in the wake of opposition from Swedish environmentalists, scientists, and indigenous groups, even though the first flight would have involved no experimental release of particles.

Pléiades Neo 3 is the first earth observation satellite of the Pléiades Neo constellation being developed by Airbus Defence and Space. The four-satellite constellation will be the first European satellite constellation with mapping, urban and defence applications as well as the world’s largest earth observation constellation.

SSC (Swedish Space Corporation) is a leading global provider of state-of-the-art space engineering, satellite and launch services based in Solna (Stockholm) and Kiruna (Northern Sweden).
Their rocket, the SubOrbital Express, is flying 260 km into the Thermosphere where they will perform scientific and technological experiments in weightlessness. All this on behalf of institutions, private individuals or companies.
These experiments take place over a duration of six minutes in a state of weightlessness. Afterwards the rocket falls back to earth where it lands, with the help of a parachute, in the landing zone north of Kiruna. After a helicopter retrieves the rocket, the SSC evaluates and analyses the data collected and shares it with the scientists.

Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) is expanding its offerings with four new polar antennas, the company announced Monday. The first is a new 7.3 m tri-band antenna at the Inuvik Satellite Station Facility (ISSF) in Canada. One more antenna at the ISSF, and two at the Esrange Space Center in Sweden, will be introduced later this year.
This expansion is part of SSC’s work to offer fully global Ka-band connectivity by the end of 2021. SSC said this will meet growing demand for high downlink capacity for high resolution Earth Observation (EO) data. It calls dual use of ground stations in Sweden and Canada the “Kinuvik” concept.
