| Swiss Shuttle Craft |
Switzerland could be joining the space race and the
lucrative satellite launch business if an ambitious project involving a
reusable shuttle and recycled passenger jets comes to fruition in the
small city of Payerne.
What was once a furniture warehouse in the industrial zone next to the town’s military airfield is today a 2000-square metre building fitted out with ultra-modern equipment. To get in you have to pass through a series of checks, including finger-print identification.
It’s there that Pascal Jaussi, director of the “Swiss Space Systems” project, or S3, is promising to propel Switzerland into orbit, or almost.
