Sweden relies on foreign technology for this (US), compared to France and Germany. They also depend on the ESA/France to put these satellites into orbit. That's not what I would call a leader player.

Sweden is part of ESA, what a strange thing to say. Also, I believe some of the satellites will be sent from Kiruna, Sweden.

Do you have info on that? All the internet tells me that there is a tracking station there, no spaceport. And if one wanted to use a local spaceport, I suppose the Norwegian one would be close enough.

They have not launched anything into orbit yet though. Only high-altitude probes.
