GERMAN INDUSTRY PUSHES FOR SPACE LAUNCH SITE IN THE NORTH SEA

摘要

Germany should jump-start its space technology sector by building a mobile micro-launch platform in the North Sea that could send national security pay-loads into orbit, according to a proposal by the Federation of German Industries. The idea picked up steam during late summer, as the trade association published its ideas in a report and initiated talks with government agencies, including the ministries for economic affairs and defense.
