	ESA - Human Spaceflight and Exploration - Research - Esrange and ESA
		First, Esrange's latitude of 67 degrees and 89 minutes north puts it just within the Arctic Circle - excellent for the investigation of polar phenomena from the aurora borealis to strange noctilucent clouds and nowadays ozone depletion.
		Third, despite its relative isolation Esrange is only 45 km from Kiruna and has excellent communications by road, rail and air.
		Of course, it is not the wilderness scenery that attracts the hundreds of scientists and engineers from Europe, the USA and Japan who fly their projects from Esrange; but no one complains about the beauty, either.

	First Brazilian Rocket Launched from Esrange(Sweden) - Defesa@Net
		Esrange, Sweden (SPX) Dec 02, 2005 Thursday, the Texus-EML sounding rocket which is jointly funded by ESA and DLR was successfully launched from Esrange at 09.04 UT. The Brazilian rocket motor VSB-30, was used for the very first time at Esrange.
		This launch is a major step for the continuation of the sounding rocket activities at Esrange, says Dr. Olle Norberg, Head of Esrange.
		Due to reindeer herding in the eastern part of the Esrange impact area, Esrange chose to aim the rocket further west than usually.

	Intra-seasonal oscillations observed in the MLT region above UK (52°N, 2°W) and ESRANGE (68°N, 21°E)
		Analyses of intra-seasonal oscillations (i.e., oscillations with periods of ∼30–100 days) in the MLT region made by meteor radars at middle (UK, five years of data) and high latitudes (Esrange, three years of data) are presented in this work.
		This intra-seasonal oscillation appears to be a prominent feature of the mean zonal circulation and was observed quite regularly in the time intervals December 1996–September 2001 over UK and October 1999–December 2002 over Esrange.
		The intra-seasonal oscillations observed over Esrange are coherent in both amplitude and phase over the height range of ∼80–100 km covered by the radar.
