Rocket Mishap: Sweden's Research Rocket Lands in Norway.

A research rocket launched by Sweden Space Corp (SSC) from northern Sweden has malfunctioned and landed 15km (9.3 miles) inside neighbouring Norway. The rocket was part of a research programme in which experiments are carried out in zero gravity at 250km (155 miles) above the Earth. The rocket took a “slightly longer and more westerly trajectory than expected”. The rocket was a TEXUS-58 and is part of a European initiative commissioned by the European Space Agency. The rocket was recovered on Tuesday in “good condition” and was transported back to the centre by helicopter. An investigation is under way to determine what led to the malfunction.
