Europe Aims to Cut U.S. Reliance with Nordic Spaceport Projects

Europe Aims to Cut U.S. Reliance with Nordic Spaceport Projects

As reported by Reuters on July 10, Europe is pushing forward with building domestic launch facilities in Sweden’s Esrange and Norway’s Andøya to reduce dependence on the U.S. and strengthen its independent space capabilities. The goal is to send satellites into orbit from the European continent for the first time. Previously, Europe’s only launch site was in French Guiana, South America—its remote location and high costs made it hard to meet rising commercial and military needs.

Smart Cities: The Future of Urban Living in 2045

By 2045, an estimated 65% - 70% of the world's population will be residing in urban areas. As the urban population swells, the number of megacities with a population exceeding 10 million is projected to increase from 28 in 2016 to 41 by 2030. This massive influx of people into cities will place immense strain on urban infrastructure, including intercity transportation, food and water supply, power and energy systems, sewage treatment, and public safety networks.
