Today, Norway and the U.S. signed a Technology Safeguards Agreement (TSA), which will facilitate the launch of U.S. launchers and satellites from Andøya Spaceport.

– The agreement is a major step toward making Andøya one of the world’s most attractive locations for satellite launches. The U.S. is the world’s largest satellite market. Norway and Andøya Spaceport greatly appreciate the opportunity to launch satellites for U.S. clients, says Cecilie Myrseth, the Norwegian Minister for Trade and Industry.

The TSA is a bilateral agreement, which will prevent unauthorized dissemination of U.S. technology.

The U.S. has concluded similar agreements with Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, among others.
