Space student say thank you - and stay

Five international space students recently carried out a successful experiment on the student balloon BEXUS-7. With financial support from PROGRESSUM, they had built a “vacuum cleaner”, catching dust particles during the flight.

These particles will now be analyzed. In a press release they thank all space-related institutions in Kiruna which had all been of great help.

They think that Kiruna is the ideal place for space studies and decided to stay another year.

Stratospheric Census will receive financial sponsoring from PROGRESSUM, the organisation supporting the Kiruna economy and working on establishing Kiruna as a destination for space enthusiasts and tourists.

This sponsoring enables us to procure critical mechanical and electrical components.

It is also part of a wider cooperation between PROGRESSUM and Stratospheric Census.

The team will promote Kiruna as a place where students can make their space-related ideas come true!

We are very grateful and would like to thank PROGRESSUM for this opportunity.
