Maxus 5 is Europe's largest sounding rocket which provides 12 minutes of microgravity for scientific Experiments. Launched from Kiruna in the North of Sweden the rocket can carry between 6 and 8 experiments and bring then back to earth for analysis.
This tape is the first of 2 which contains footage from the Maxus 5 launch which took place on the 01 April 2003. It is chapter structured and carries clean international sound with soundbites in English and French.
