ESRANGE USER'S HANDBOOK
Esrange User’s Handbook summarizes policies and procedures for facility use and provides a description of the range capabilities to users.
The handbook is divided into 11 volumes, with the three first addressing general information related to the range, safety and range instrumentation, while the next seven address specific facilities, processes and operations related to individual types of activities (e.g., sounding rockets or orbital launch). Abbreviations and acronyms used throughout the handbook, as well as identified references, are included in a separate volume.
Each new version of an individual volume of the Esrange User’s Handbook replaces all previous versions of that particular document (but not any of the other volumes).
