This report is a summary of an inventory of space activities at the Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI). The objective of this review is to show FOI's employers in what areas FOI has knowledge and capabilities within the concept of space. Another reason is to inform co-workers at FOI about the present projects to avoid duplication of work and hopefully also to strengthen the cooperation within the area of space research at FOI. The questionnaire concerning the present space activities (1995-2003) that was sent to all departments at FOI addressed anybody who has worked or are working with space related issues as space physics, satellite data, the satellite structure, telemetry or command, the ground station and so on. The survey showed that present space related activities cover the development of propulsion systems and propellant, research about laser ignition systems, laser communication, accident investigation of the launch rocket Ariane-5, studies for the Swedish Armed Forces related to the use of satellite systems in the Network Based Defense, analysis of interference in navigation systems and study of formation flying satellites.
