SSC has teamed up with South Korean company Perigee Aerospace Inc. to initiate satellite launches from Esrange Space Center in Sweden beginning in 2025. This partnership marks the first time an orbital rocket, Perigee's Blue Whale 1 microlauncher, will be launched from Esrange.

"I'm very pleased to announce this historic collaboration, our first orbital launch partnership. The market demand for this service is huge and it's needed now, by both European and international satellite owners. Perigee's Blue Whale 1 rocket is an ideal match for our orbital launch complex at Esrange. With this partnership, SSC will be able to offer a competitive commercial European orbital launch service at our spaceport in Sweden. This is exciting news for us, and for the global space market," says Charlotta Sund, CEO of SSC.

"SSC has an impressive 50 years of launch heritage and the new orbital launch infrastructure at Esrange is laying the foundation for the years to come. By bringing our Blue Whale 1 rocket, soon ready for orbital missions, we will partner with SSC to create a state-of-the-art orbital launch service, including further delivery through SSC's ground service offering. After a successful orbital launch from South Korea next year, we look forward to beginning this historic journey at Esrange," says Yoon Shin, CEO and Founder of Perigee.

The collaboration involves a two-stage launch vehicle capable of delivering payloads up to 200 kg into a 500 km Sun-Synchronous Orbit. Together, SSC and Perigee will develop a shared payload space concept for the rocket, aiming to accommodate both companies' customer bases. This partnership will be enhanced by SSC's extensive global satellite ground station network, potentially complemented by additional space-to-ground services.
