Space.

Maybe you want to launch an aerospace-related business. Maybe you want to launch a satellite. Maybe you’re looking for a launch site. Maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Maybe you are a launch provider. Maybe you need to bounce ideas. Maybe you need access to the resources established aerospace companies can provide.

Whatever it is, we’re here to help you make all the difference.

There are thousands of aerospace companies out there, but our closeness to unique space infrastructure increase your chance of success. And that is what’s going to separate you from the rest. a Space

It all begins with an idea.

Newspace North is a one-of-a-kind hybrid innovation centre for upstream aerospace industry in Norway.

What makes Andøya so special?

Andøya, nestled in the heart of Nordland, Norway, is a breathtaking gem that effortlessly combines raw natural beauty with cutting-edge innovation.

Imagine towering, majestic mountains cascading into crystal-clear waters, framing endless horizons of white, pristine beaches kissed by the Arctic winds. The Gulf Stream weaves its magic just offshore, creating a unique climate that supports an extraordinary array of wildlife.

Here, you’ll find whales breaching against the midnight sun, sea eagles soaring above untouched landscapes, and puffins bustling along dramatic cliffs. It’s a haven for those seeking an intimate connection with nature’s wonders.

But Andøya is more than just a paradise for adventurers and nature lovers; it’s Norway’s hub for the upstream aerospace industry, a cutting-edge epicenter where Earth’s beauty meets the infinite possibilities of space exploration.

The island is home to a state-of-the-art spaceport, offering unparalleled opportunities for satellite launches and scientific research. The Norwegian government has decided that Andøya air station will support the Norwegian Armed Forces and allies in testing and training with UAV systems, i.e. drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).This seamless blend of majestic scenery and technological innovation makes Andøya a place like no other—a destination where inspiration strikes at every turn, whether from the rugged wilderness or the limitless sky above.

Come for the beauty, stay for the magic, and experience a sense of awe that you will never forget.

The island is connected to the national roadsystem, has a large airport and deep sea ports, a low-density airspace and offer launch inclinations ranging from 90 to 110.6 degrees. We call it Future Island.

These are favorable for both sun-synchronous and polar orbits and the flightpath ensures a trajectory that don’t cross populated areas. The large impact and dispersion area in the Norwegian Sea enables safe disposal of the spent stages.

The close proximity of the spaceport, the space village and the innovation- and testcentre makes it attractive for upstream aerospace industry from all over the world to establish themselves here. Andøy municipality is very active in making this happen.
