Yesterday, March 9, in connection with the Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt visiting Moscow, a space cooperation agreement was signed between Sweden and Russia.

This agreement will give Swedish Space Corporation the possibility to offer customers circumpolar balloon flights from its launch facility Esrange Space Center in northern Sweden.

"Balloon flights with longer duration that have been possible so far, are something that many scientists have requested, this agreement will make it available and also, it will further strengthen our position as the leading balloon launch service provider in the northern hemisphere" says Lennart Poromaa, General manager Science Services Division, Swedish Space Corporation.
