Logo of the program. The REXUS/BEXUS (Rocket Experiments for University Students / Balloon Experiments for University Students) programme is a cooperation between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) that allows students from higher education institutions to study experiments on board sounding rockets and stratospheric balloons.

The balloon rocket can be used easily to demonstrate simple physics, namely Newton’s third law of motion. [2] A common experiment with a balloon rocket consists in adding other objects such as a string or fishing line, a drinking straw and adhesive tape to the balloon itself. The string is threaded through the straw and is attached at both ...
A balloon rocket experiment shows how cold air weighs more than warm air and how it got to be so windy Friday. Philadelphia Weather: Balloon rocket experiment demonstrates Friday's wind Skip to ...
The society was founded in the summer of 2006, with the specific goal of launching a rocket into space for less than GBP£1000. [2]As of November, 2007, CU Spaceflight has launched five non-crewed high-altitude balloons, of which two were not successful: [3] Nova 2 was blown into the North Sea and Nova 5 failed to ignite the Martlet 1 solid rocket motor, but landed in a reusable state.
Experiments to study the ionosphere during the eclipse include high-altitude balloons and a citizen science endeavor that invites the participation of amateur radio operators. Operators in ...
Jeff Bezos' space company successfully launched a rocket carrying experiments on Tuesday, its first flight since engine trouble caused a crash more than a year ago. The New Shepard rocket soared ...
By 1952, Van Allen was the first to devise a balloon-rocket combination that lifted rockets on balloons high above most of the Earth's atmosphere before firing them even higher. The rockets were ignited after the balloons reached an altitude of 16 kilometers. James Van Allen holding (Loki) instrumented Rockoon, Credit: JPL
A rockoon (from rocket and balloon) is a sounding rocket that, rather than being lit immediately while still on the ground, is first carried into the upper atmosphere by a gas-filled balloon, then separated from the balloon and ignited. This allows the rocket to achieve a higher altitude, as the rocket does not have to move under power through ...
