Exploring Microgravity: Foam Physics Experiment in Swedish Lapland

Karuna, in the far north of Sweden, is home to a unique science program that launches and retrieves sounding rockets for experimental purposes. These rockets carry equipment that record data during the brief period of low gravity at the top of their trajectory. Scientists from around the world use this opportunity to conduct experiments, such as studying the physics of foam, in near weightlessness. The success of these missions depends on years of work and the results obtained provide valuable insights for future space exploration.
