The Swedish sounding rocket and balloon program is discussed. The investigations relate to geophysical disciplines, astrophysics, and microgravity research. Future scientific projects using sounding rockets and balloons are planned for infrared observations of interstellar medium and investigation on the structure and dynamics of the middle atmosphere above the northern polar region during Summer. Continued studies of auroral electrodynamics have been proposed. These studies will require increased technical capabilities with respect to payload design, rocket performance and ground support as compared with the current program. Of special interest is the joint German Swedish MAXUS program for the launching of sounding rockets up to 900 km altitude giving 15 minutes of microgravity.
