The Swedish sounding-rocket programme 1976-1980
Abstract
The program comprises about five to ten launchings per year from Esrange in northern Sweden. The investigations relate to ionospheric and magnetospheric physics, auroral phenomena, and the upper atmosphere's composition at high latitude. Current trends in the program are increasing payload complexity, for example, mother-daughter payloads, and higher peak altitudes. Most projects are carried out in international cooperation.
