Abstract
The Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) conducts the MASER Microgravity Rocket Programme since 1987, with the purpose of providing flight opportunities to the scientific community for performance of experiments under microgravity conditions. The next launch in the program, MASER 11, will be launched from the SSC operated launch facility Esrange in northern part of Sweden in Spring 2008. The payload will accommodated four European Space Agency (ESA) financed experiment modules containing different experiments for scientific research. In this paper the MASER system in general and the MASER 11 mission specifically is presented.
