Andøya rakettskytefelt. Andøya Space Center.steemCreated with Sketch.

Den første forskningsraketten vart skoten opp frå Andøya rakettskytefelt 18. august i 1962. Om ei veke er det 56 årsdagen for denne hendinga. Meir enn tusen forskningsrakettar har blitt skote opp frå Andøya. I dag heiter dette rakettskytefeltet, Andøya Space Center og området heiter Oksebåsen og ligg om lag 5 km sørvest for Andenes.
Utforskning av verdensrommet har vore oppgåva for dei rakettane som er skotne opp frå Andøya rakettskytefelt. Og spesielt er det forskning på nordlyset som har stått sentralt i dette arbeidet. I tillegg til rakettar vert det og skote ut for ballongar som har vitskaplege oppgåver.
I januar 1995 medan Boris Jeltsin var president i Russland vart det skote opp ein forskningsrakett frå Andøya Rakettskytefelt. Russarane oppfatta at dette kunne vera ein amerikansk Trident rakett som vart skote opp frå ein ubåt.
Før det vart avklara at det var ein norsk forskningsrakett frå Norge, var det dramatisk og Russland var ei stund i alarmtilstand.
Bildene er fotograferte ein regnvêrsdag og er av den grunn ganske mørke.

The first research rocket was shot from the Andøya Space Center on August 18, 1962. About a week it is the 56th anniversary of this event. More than a thousand research missiles have been launched from Andøya. Today, this rocket launch field, Andøya Space Center and the area is called, Oksebåsen is located about 5 km southwest of Andenes.
Exploration of space has been the task of the rocket launchers from Andøya Space Center. And in particular, research on the Aurora Borealis has been central to this work. In addition to missiles, it hosts and shoots for balloons that have scientific tasks.
In January 1995, while Boris Yeltsin was president of Russia, a research missile from the Andøya Space Center was launched​. Russia thought this could be a US Trident rocket that was shot from a submarine.
Before it became clear that there was a Norwegian research missile from Norway, it was dramatic, and Russia was a moment in alarm mode.
The pictures are photographed on a rainy day and are therefore quite dark.
