Since 1975 we have offered consulting services, studies, research and development, testing, operations and management for users to perform research under microgravity conditions. We provide opportunities for experimenters to conduct experiments on sounding rockets, aircraft, unmanned spacecraft, retrievable capsules and the Space Shuttle.
SSC can offer two rocket platforms for microgravity experiments; MASER and MAXUS. Both these rockets are launched from SSC´s own launch facilily the Esrange Space Center in the north of Sweden
MASER is a SSC sounding rocket programme with an international participation of users that provides 6-8 minutes of microgravity.
MAXUS is a joint venture between SSC and EADS, Germany that provides up to 14 minutes of microgravity.
