The 19th ESA Symposium on European Rocket and Balloon Programmes and Related Research will be held in Bad Reichenhall, Germany, 7-11 June 2009. Scientists and engineers who would like to present a paper at the symposium are invited to submit a Notification of Interest via the symposium website.

This symposium provides a platform for scientists and engineers using sounding rockets and balloons for their research, and to advance progress in related scientific disciplines. The scope of the symposium also includes related ground-based, aircraft and satellite research, new developments in technology, and improvements of range facilities.

Symposium participants are given the opportunity to report both on their latest achievements and plans for the future in the various scientific and technical fields. New trends and the latest developments in the use of sounding rockets and balloons for scientific research will be highlighted. This will facilitate the establishment of a strategic and lasting roadmap towards the future of these activities.

Balloon-related topics will also be discussed
