Launch Complex 3C

Launch Complex 3C (LC-3C) is the dedicated orbital launch pad within Swedish Space Corporation's Spaceport Esrange in northern Sweden, being built for Firefly Aerospace's Alpha rocket. SSC and Firefly report completed launch-control, payload-processing, vehicle-integration, tracking, control, security, and storage infrastructure, with final pad construction underway and the first launch targeted for 2028. The complex is intended to support polar and sun-synchronous satellite launches from mainland Europe; it is not yet an operational launch pad and remains a controlled, secured site. Public access is not walk-in; confirm current SSC, Esrange, regulatory, and launch-viewing guidance before travel.
