Spaceport Sweden On Track

Virgin Galactic and Spaceport Sweden held a press conference today. There are reportedly no obstacles in building a co-operating base in Sweden (along with Spaceport America in New Mexico) for Virgin Galactic's private space flights.

According to Will Whitehorn, president of Virgin Galactic, the ships will be used for space tourism as well as "part of a longer term development programme involving space science, payload deployment and potentially other applications yet to be defined."
