Austrian forwarder involved in rocket mission
The international transport company Gebrüder Weiss (GW) is the official logistics partner for the Sub Orbital Express rocket mission to be carried out by the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC).
GW is organising the transport of twelve scientific experiments from the SSC’s head office in Stockholm to the Estrange space centre near Kiruna in northern Sweden for this project, a journey of 1,200 km.
The SSC will be conducting the mission from 14 – 15 November 2022, in which the experiments will be flown in space to study their behaviour in a weightless environment. The parabolic trajectory will result in six minutes of weightlessness. The experiments will then land in an uninhabited area north of Esrange, from where they will be brought back to the base. (ben)
