The experiment will be carried out with a VSB 30 rocket in February 2015.
Modification and installation of equipment in the Skylark launch tower have been done in a pre-campaign in September-October 2013.

The Cryofenix mission investigates the behavior of cryogenic liquids under microgravity condition.

SSC is acting as a subcontractor to Air Liquide Advanced Technologies.

ALAT is responsible for the development of the experiment module for cryogenic liquids.

SSC is responsible for the development of two new modules:

  • The control module for the main experiment module.
  • A thruster module which applies a controlled linear acceleration to the payload in flight

SSC is also delivering the launch service for the Cryofenix at Esrange Space Center.
