Post-flight data analysis of the BUGS experiment on sounding rocket REXUS-7
This paper deals with the post flight data analysis of the BUGS experiment (Boom for University Gravity-gradient stabilized Satellite) which was flown on board the sounding rocket REXUS-7 from the SSCs (Swedish Space Corporation) launch facility ESRANGE Space Center located near Kiruna, in the north...
