Esrange in the north of Sweden, managed by the Swedish Space Corporation, is supporting many satellite projects and is also a modern well established range for launching most types of sounding rockets, including high performance vehicles such as Terrier Black Brant, Skylark 12, and the new Castor 4B. At the range there are facilities for launching scientific stratospheric balloons of a size up to 600,000 cubic m. Due to more frequent and advanced rocket and balloon missions the scientific support at the range is continuously being upgraded. Real time presentation of Scandinavian Twin Auroral Radar Experiment (STARE) data is available, a new ionospheric sounder is installed at IRF at Kiruna, and meteorological support and new possible sites are examples of new facilities available at Esrange.
