Aurora, reindeer, snow, sun and balloon launches! The full experience of launching stratospheric balloons to the upper atmosphere for 67 students who took part in this year's BEXUS campaign in Northern Sweden!

The German-Swedish REXUS/BEXUS programme provides two sounding rocket and stratospheric balloon launches every year. Six student teams from ESA member states were selected by SNSB and ESA in December 2016 to develop their ideas into experimental apparatus to be flown on BEXUS 24 and 25

On 13th of October, the teams gathered at Esrange Space Center outside Kiruna, Northern Sweden to prepare their experiments for flight. They were joined by two additional teams from Germany, which were sponsored by the German Aerospace Center DLR.
