                  The Institute of Materials Physics in Space

                  After a smooth countdown, ATEK/MAPHEUS-8 took off at 4:21 am on 13 June 2019. The flight was nominal with a maximum altitude of 239 km. The payload and the instrumented second stage were recovered by helicopter immediately after the flight.

                  Research & Transfer

                  The Institute for Materials Physics in Space investigates the properties of melts and their solidification on all length scales using theoretical and experimental methods.
