Product Name: Sounding rockets
Manufacturer Name: Airbus
Product Description: The TEXUS sounding rockets, built by Airbus, are designed to conduct vital experiments in microgravity, enabling significant advancements in scientific research. Recently, TEXUS 59 and 60 were successfully launched from the Esrange Space Centre in Kiruna, Sweden, with TEXUS 60 reaching an impressive apogee of 251 km and providing 362 seconds of microgravity time. These missions included payloads such as two experiments from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) named Simona and GECO, along with a collaborative experiment called Phoenix 2 conducted with the Japanese Space Agency JAXA. The TEXUS program plays a crucial role in facilitating groundbreaking discoveries by allowing researchers to explore various phenomena in a microgravity environment.
