This launch site has been active for quite some time. It was also involved in what was the closest thing to a nuclear war we've had the last decades. Russia 'forgot' the planned launch of a satellite from Andøya space centre and was reportedly very close to send their Nukes on the USA. I believe this was in the 90's..
