We are launching a weather balloon! Next week, we will launch a small stratospheric balloon to test our hardware and see how our collection membranes behave while in the stratosphere. The lauch is conducted by MOVE-Up, our balloon-team at WARR MOVE, and features additonal payloads from the REXUS/BEXUS teams PEANUT and SHROOM!
Stay tuned for more on Mission Cirrus :)
What is REXUS/BEXUS?
REXUS/BEXUS is a project from the german and swedish space agencies aimed at university students. As a team, you develop an experiment, with support from experts and launch it on a stratospheric balloon or rocket!
On Sunday, we submitted our documentation to the jury board leading up to the Critical Design Review (CDR). In the upcoming days, we will tell you more about our experiment and it's design, so stay tuned!
How do #microplastics reach every ecosystem on earth? Via the air!
Microplastics have been found to fall from the sky in the arctic and other remote locations, but little is known about how they behave in the atmosphere. Simulations show that these particles might even reach the stratosphere, but data is missing to confirm that. With PHILEAS, we hope to contribute to that research, launching a microplastic detector on a BEXUS stratospheric balloon!

15th cycle of the #BEXUS program completed with the launch from #ESRANGE of the 2nd #balloon mission of the 2024 program.
Mission BEXUS 34 was sent aloft at 13:47 UTC carrying onboard SVAROG, RETINA, SMART, SPICY & STORMDUST experiments developed by students from UK, Italy, Portugal, Germany & Poland.
BEXUS allows universities and colleges across Europe to carry out #scientific & #technological experiments on two balloons that each year, transport up to 20 experiments built by students.
Today was launched from #ESRANGE the 1st #balloon mission of the 2024 #BEXUS program.
Mission BEXUS 35 was sent aloft at 7:53 UTC. carrying onboard ARESONUS, CHAOS, CURiE and HEIMDAL experiments from German, Polish and Danish students
The initiative allows students from universities and colleges across Europe to carry out #scientific & technological experiments on two balloons that each year, transport up to 20 experiments designed and built by student teams.

Physik-Studierende der Christian-Albrechts-Univ. zu Kiel (CAU) haben in den vergangenen zwölf Monaten ein Messinstrument für kosmische Strahlung gebaut. Der Detektor ist eines von vier Experimenten, die Anfang Oktober an Bord eines Forschungsballons in die Stratosphäre aufsteigen werden.

The second and last mission of this year's #BEXUS cycle was launched today at 6:08 UTC from the balloon launch pad of the European Space Range #ESRANGE near #Kiruna, Sweden.
BEXUS 32 carried onboard four experiments:
#HERCCULES - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain
#HERMES - Hautes Ecoles Spécialisées Genève, Switzerland
#ROMULUS - Sapienza University of Rome, Italy
#SBGA - Technical University of Munich, Germany
The #balloon achieved a float altitude of 27,6 km at 7:32 UTC.
