 Lisbeth Nilsson has been appointed manager of a new SSC department that is located at the Vidsel Test Range. Lisbeth will be stationed at Vidsel. She will be part of the management team of the division that manages rocket and balloon launches from SSC's Esrange Space Center. On 1 March 2007, following an agreement regarding strengthened joint marketing activities in the NEAT* cooperation, around 35 FMV** employees at Vidsel were transferred to employment by SSC.
”SSC is expanding and we foresee many possibilities in the coming years regarding testing of new aerospace systems. With her qualifications and experience, Lisbeth will be a great asset to the company ", says CEO Lars Persson.
Lisbeth has long experience of management in technology companies. She is now leaving her position as CEO for Tekniska Verken (Public Works) in Kiruna , where she has worked for six years. During the last years, she has managed to turn the company around and it is now showing positive results. Lisbeth is now looking forward to finding new challenges at SSC.
Lisbeth will start her new post at SSC in mid-May 2007.
*NEAT stands for North European Aerospace Test range and comprises facilities at Vidsel Test Range and Esrange Space Center, an air corridor between them, and Kiruna Airport. NEAT offers customers from all over the world facilities to test new aerospace systems over an extensive and largely uninhabited land area covering more than 20,000 sq. km. The cooperation between SSC and FMV is aiming to underpin NEAT’s position as a leading testing facility for weapons, flight and space systems in Europe. The joint project increases opportunities for skills exchanges, strengthens resources and streamlines joint technological development.
