– We are very happy Lennart Poromaa
Have no billionaires
The idea is to develop models of shells for reusable unmanned rockets, where knowledge can then be managed when traveling on the Moon and finally on Mars. Lennart Poromaa
In the United States, the famous founder of Tesla, Elon Musk, has long invested heavily in his company Space X to fire rockets and bring them back to the ground. But against him, Esrange and Europe go up to ten years after.
– We do not have those billionaires who hurry on developments in Europe. Lennart Poromaa
thinks that development in Europe has been "rigid", but convinced that spacecraft will accelerate here too.
Starting next year
Today, Esrange launches rockets for space and atmospheric research and high altitude balloons for weight loss research.
– The work to start developing all the infrastructure and technical systems required for reusable rockets is starting now. Esrange is an exemplary place to conduct this type of activity, in an area that is the most populated, says Poromaa
The idea is to start testing the test radar at the end of next year.
