Aerospace: Sweden and U.S. sign agreement to further cooperation in space research

The Local reports that the Swedish foreign minister Laila Freivalds, and the American ambassador Teel Bivins, have signed an agreement to further cooperation between the Swedish National Space Board and NASA.

Although Sweden and the US have been cooperating for years, earlier cooperation has been agreed on a case by case basis.The new agreement will initially be valid for ten years making it easier to come to an agreement on the various projects.
