What Sweden Space Activities Act 1982 (Rymdverksamhetslag 1982:963) - Swedish National Space Regulatory Framework requires
Sweden's Space Activities Act (Rymdverksamhetslag, SFS 1982:963) is one of the world's oldest national space licensing statutes, enacted in 1982 and applying to space activities carried out by Swedish legal persons or from Swedish territory. The Act requires a licence from the Swedish government for any space activity and makes the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA/Rymdstyrelsen) the coordinating authority for Swedish space policy. Sweden hosts the Esrange Space Center (operated by SSC, Swedish Space Corporation) near Kiruna in northern Sweden - Esrange is a significant launch site for suborbital rockets and stratospheric balloons, and Sweden began preparation for Esrange as an orbital launch site in 2020. The Act was supplemented by Government Ordinance (SFS 1982:1069) specifying licensing conditions.
