The Swedish Space Corporation, SSC, is internationally recognized as a flexible and successful partner in space operations. The space operations are performed at Esrange in northern Sweden at 68 °N and 21 °E; an ideal site for launch of sounding rockets, stratospheric balloons and for satellite operations. Balloon flights and aerospace testflights can also be performed from other dedicated ranges in Sweden. Scientific ground-based instruments at Esrange may also be used for coordinated measurements during sounding rocket and balloon flights as well as data from satellite operated at Esrange. The infrastructure and the skilled personel at Esrange are a guarantee for a successful aerospace mission. SSC has established co-operation with both European and North American partners to accomplish large balloon campaigns with flights as far as into Russia and Canada. The benefit of this co-operation is to ensure handling of very large payloads, reducing the launch readiness time and to be ready for launch during the best scientific conditions.
