Spectacular! Congratulations @SpaceX @elonmusk and thank you for making advancements for humanity and setting the course for deep space travel. Speaking of which, I believe we have a red car wn route to the red planet #falconheavy #commercialspace

Today at 19:30 CET/1:30 PM ET, SpaceX will conduct the first test flight of the #FalconHeavy from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. When the Falcon Heavy lifts off it will be the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. And it will send a car towards Mars. For this test flight, Falcon Heavy’s side cores are flight-proven—both previously supported independent Falcon 9 missions in 2016. SpaceX will attempt to land all the three Falcon 9 boosters, two on land and one on the drone ship at sea. The 27 Merlin engines will generate 5 million pounds of thrust. On board is Elon's Tesla Roadster and Starman, a slightly more attention grabbing payload than the usual steel or block of concrete. The aim is to launch the car into a Earth-Mars elliptical orbit around the sun, 400 million km away at the furthest, traveling at the speed of 11km/sec. The Falcon Heavy will be used for payloads to the moon and Mars and to place heavy satellites into geostationary orbit. Godspeed to our friends SpaceX!!! Let's make history, again.

Spaceport Sweden will be part of the UN expert meeting on "Space for Women" next week. Our CEO Karin Nilsdotter will be talking about leadership as the key to the future and will be working with representatives from different parts of the globe on a project to achieve diversity and gender equality in the space industry. Its not only the right thing to do but the smart thing to do and critical to the industry's own success - in a competitive environment where the biggest battle is over talent and staying ahead of the curve. We wish to put forward good initiatives and thanks to all of you who have taken the time to discuss this. More ideas are welcome! #space4women #UNOOSA #UNWOMEN

Tune in live! Our friends at Sierra Nevada Corporation are about to carry out a captive carry flight with the Dream Chaser - in preparation for orbital flight. Go team!

Amazing! SpaceX launches and lands second Falcon 9 rocket in two days. Two years ago, it had landed none. Go SpaceX!

Bam! Congratulations also to SpaceX for another historic launch, sending a used spacecraft into orbit for the first time. Before SpaceX have successfully launched, landed and reused the first stage, now the company is reusing its spacecraft!

Congratulations to our friends at Virgin Galactic on another successful flight test on Thursday! More on this milestone flight here.

Looking forward to be part of #sthlmtechmeetup on June 7. Together with Mathias of Warp Institute and Jens of ESA BIC Sweden we'll be talking about space as the next business frontier and the exciting opportunities for startups. Hope to see you there. The sky is not the limit!
