spacewatch.global
Andøya Spaceport is building Norway’s first spaceport on Andøya, from where it can launch payloads with orbital launch vehicles into polar and sun-synchronous orbits. The Spaceport will provide the ground infrastructure for launch operator companies to launch small satellites into orbit. Furthermore, the initial capability includes a new launch pad, an integration hall where users can assemble and integrate their payloads into the rockets. The facility will also offer control rooms for operating tests, launch operations, and range activities.

    It looks like Isar Aerospace might launch from there before the end of 2023?

    There should be a nice race between them, RFA, PLD, and Hyimpulse to take Vega’s market.
