Andoya Spaceport, in collaboration with Exolaunch, aims to elevate launch capabilities at a new integration facility

Andøya Spaceport, strategically located in northern Norway at 69°N and 16°E, with orbital launch pads offering direct injection into Polar and sun-synchronous orbits (SSO), today announced a strategic collaboration with Exolaunch, a global leader integration, rideshare missions, and deployment services. This partnership will leverage Exolaunch's satellite processing expertise for Andøya Spaceport's planned integration facility in the Spaceport Village at Nordmela to become a hub for the small-satellite market in Europe.

“We welcome the partnership with Exolaunch to ensure our new facilities are designed efficiently and with our end-users in mind. Exolaunch's experience with over 30 missions will provide valuable input during design and construction to best meet user needs,” said Andøya Spaceport President, Ingun Berget.

"Supporting Andøya Spaceport while they scale their facilities and product offerings for orbital-class small launch vehicles is an exciting step for Exolaunch as we continue expanding our work in Scandinavia," commented Robert W. Sproles, chief executive officer at Exolaunch. "Andøya Spaceport' world-class infrastructure and prime location at the edge of the Arctic Circle make it a standout launch site for small satellite missions. Their capabilities complement our expertise in enabling ambitious small satellite missions, from precise orbit deployment to mission flexibility and costefficiency. At Exolaunch, we've built a track record of deploying hundreds of satellites with reliability, empowering operators to achieve their goals in science, technology, and connectivity. We look forward to working with the team at Andøya Spaceport and their customers to shape a dynamic future for small satellite launches in Europe and support the region's emergence as a global leader in space innovation."
