This video contains comprehensive footage, including detailed explanatory interviews, on the Texus 37 - 38 campaign, conducted at ESA's arctic launch facility and control centre, Esrange, Kiruna, Sweden. The Texus programme provides the opportunity for scientists to conduct space experiments, focusing on the physical sciences and biology, in a microgravity environment. Experiment modules can be flown on sounding rockets such as Texus, which offers 6 minutes of microgravity. ESA has been running flight campaigns with Texus since 1977.
