Esrange , the E uropean S pace and Sounding Rocket Range , is a rocket range and research center located outside the town of Kiruna in northern Sweden at 67°53'38" N and 21°06'25" E. It is a base for atmospheric research with balloons , investigation of the aurora borealis , and rocket launches, among other things. Located 200 km north of the Arctic Circle and surrounded by a vast wilderness, its geographic location is ideal for many of these purposes.
1964 by ESRO, the European Space Research Organisation , which later became the European Space Agency . In 1972 , ownership was transferred to the newly started Swedish Space Corporation .

ESA - Human Spaceflight and Exploration - Research - Esrange and ESA (413 words)
First, Esrange's latitude of 67 degrees and 89 minutes north puts it just within the Arctic Circle - excellent for the investigation of polar phenomena from the aurora borealis to strange noctilucent clouds and nowadays ozone depletion. Third, despite its relative isolation Esrange is only 45 km from Kiruna and has excellent communications by road, rail and air. Of course, it is not the wilderness scenery that attracts the hundreds of scientists and engineers from Europe, the USA and Japan who fly their projects from Esrange; but no one complains about the beauty, either.
