Esrange (Kiruna, Sweden) offers a complete range of services for sounding rocket and balloon launchings to users from all over the world. Experiments carried out include microgravity, geophysics, space physics, astronomy and the chemistry of the upper atmosphere. Data from the extensive network of ground based scientific instruments in northern Scandinavia can be displayed at Esrange. Most types of sounding rockets including high performance vehicles such as Terrier Black Brant and Skylark 12 can be launched. The latest development, MAXUS, offers 15 minutes of microgravity and 1000 km apogee. Balloon payloads up to 500 kg are regularly flown from Esrange. The land recovery operations are very reliable concerning both rockets and balloons.
