Suborbital rocket set to launch 6 experiments from Sweden's Arctic spaceport on Nov. 22

Esrange has been launching sounding rockets for nearly 60 years, including the Maxus 4 suborbital microgravity mission in 2001.

A suborbital rocket is set to help scientists take the next step in various realms of research with a launch from northern Sweden.

The launch window for the SubOrbital Express-4 mission — which will fly from the Esrange Space Center, above the Arctic Circle — opens on Nov. 22. It will send six experiments from the U.S, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland and Sweden briefly into space and provide precious minutes of microgravity.
