Industrial building
A Skylark tower was a tower used for the launch of earlier versions of Skylark rockets. As Skylark rockets had no guidance system and accelerated slowly, they required a safe launch tower with a height of at least 24 metres, with its own guidance system. Skylark launch tower is situated 2½ km northeast of Esrange Satellite Station.
