ESA Ballon Symp.

ESA Rocket and Balloon Symposium, 2003

The 16th ESA Symposium on European Rocket and Balloon Programmes and Related Research took place from 2 to 5 June 2003 in St. Gallen, Switzerland. It was the continuation of a series of symposia arranged since 1973 to advance the progress in scientific disciplines utilising sounding rockets, balloons and ground-based techniques. These symposia have become widely recognised occasions for efficient communication between scientists, engineers, projects managers and administrators.

The groups of the German SCIAMACHY validation team utilizing balloon- and airborne techniques participated with important contributions based on the measurements taken in the framework of the validation projects. Following presentations were given on the symposium:
