Sounding rockets for MISU’s project ORIGIN will be launched to study nightglow in Earth's atmosphere

The ORIGIN sounding rocket project studies a light phenomenon in the Earth´s middle atmosphere called “airglow” (dayglow during the day; nightglow at night). Between January 24 – February 3 and February 16 – March 4, two sounding rockets will be launched from Esrange Space Center in northern Sweden to investigate these emissions.
