With more than 60 years of experience from microgravity missions at Esrange Space Center, the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) brought together 12 diverse and groundbreaking experiments onboard the SubOrbital Express 3 rocket, each using space conditions as a valuable tool for conducting research in various fields and contributing to our understanding of space and its impact on our life on Earth.
Among these was Fortis’s unprecedented endeavor: testing the Werk 17, their in-house manufacture calibre, within 13 Stratoliner Supernova models in the microgravity of space. This marked not only a monumental achievement in watchmaking but also a testament to human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
