HELSINKI — SSC Space and Firefly have set a 2028 target for the first orbital launch from Esrange, with key infrastructure and regulatory pieces falling into place.
The companies announced the timeline during a press briefing in Stockholm, June 30, following a string of milestones that include construction progress at Launch Complex 3C, a new bilateral agreement streamlining U.S.-Swedish launch licensing and a $21.5 million (SEK 209 million) contract with Sweden’s defense procurement agency.
