Eight interviews with persons who can provide us facts, information and knowledge in the field of space tourism have been carried out. In the theoretical section, elements of tourism impacts concerning environmental, economic, socialand cultural aspects along with space tourism as a phenomenon and its progression are presented.

In the analysis, the progression of space tourism and how the space tourism can affect Kiruna based on the three aspects concerning sustainability are discussed. In conclusion, we find that in order to develop a desirable basis for sustainable space tourism, Kiruna needs clearer guidance andactive responsibility taking.
