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.

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.

3rd. day of integration for the two #BEXUS balloon flights in #ESRANGE.

Today was accomplished the interference test to ensure before flight that there is no electromagnetic/signal conflict between all the experiments that share the same platform.

BEXUS launch campaign started today at #ESRANGE balloon base near #Kiruna, Sweden.

#BEXUS stands for Balloon Experiments for University Students is a project part of the REXUS/BEXUs initiative that allows #students from #universities and higher education #colleges across Europe and more recently Canada to carry out #scientific and #technological #experiments on #stratospheric research balloons.

Two #balloons have been launched each year since 2003 carrying multiple student experiments.
