Two sounding rocket payloads were launched from Andøya Space Centre (69.29 N, 16.02 E) during the summer of 2016 within the MAXIDUSTY campaign. Their payloads contained instrumentation aimed at investigating the characteristics of nanoscale aerosols in the upper summer mesosphere, and the role of th...
