Sweden: A rocket launched by Sweden landed within 15 km of Norway’s border due to a technical malfunction, but that was an uninhabited area.
Sweden’s space research institute ‘Esserang Space Center’ flew this rocket on Monday, on which scientific instruments for particle research and planetary research were placed. Under the plan, it was supposed to go up to 250 km, but only at an altitude of 15 km, it turned back to the ground.
However, Norway expressed its disappointment for not reporting the rocket test in time. Although it fell in an uninhabited region of Malcillo, the extent of the damage is yet to be assessed.
The rocket was named Tax 58 and was jointly developed by the European Space Agency. Experts built it for environment-friendly technology and planetary research. On the other hand, Philip Olsen, a liaison officer at the space agency, said that the rocket malfunction was before us and Norway was informed about it.
However, the Esrange Space Center lifted the rocket from its location on Tuesday, which is still in a slightly better condition. By bringing him back to the center, an attempt will be made to find out the reason for the failure of the experiment.
