Svalbard Rocket Range
The Svalbard Rocket Range ((ノルウェー語:Svalbard Rakettskytefelt)) or SvalRak is a launch site for sounding rockets at Ny-Ålesund in Svalbard, Norway. The site has been in use since 1997 and is owned by Andøya Rocket Range, which is again owned by the Norwegian Space Centre and the Kongsberg Group. SvalRak's location at the 79th parallel north makes it well-suited for launching rockets to investigate Earth's magnetic field. It is used mostly by American, Japanese and Norwegian researchers. It is the world's northernmost launch site.
== History ==
Planning of a launch site in Ny-Ålesund started in 1993, a location chosen because of its ideal location to study the polar cusp. Construction of the site started in the summer of 1997. The Norwegian Institute for Air Research, which conducts air measurements in Ny-Ålesund, was concerned that the rockets could pollute their measurements. A test rocket was launched on 15 November. The first proper launch was a Norwegian rocket, ''Isbjørn 1'', which contained instruments from University Centre in Svalbard, the University of Tromsø and the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment.〔 The rocket had a payload of and reached altitude.〔 It was followed by two Black Brant rockets for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration which reached an altitude of .
SvalRak originally held permission to fire four rockets every four years.〔 Forty-one rockets had been launched by 2004, with a peak altitude of .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SvalRak )〕 The site was upgraded in 2008.〔
