MIRIAM is a flight test within the ARCHIMEDES atmospheric sounding probe
for Mars project, and tests the full inflation and subsequent entry of
an atmospheric entry balloon ("ballute") here on Earth. It is jointly
developed by The Mars Society Germany and several institutes of the
University of the Federal Armed Forces of Germany in Munich.
MIRIAM combines all research programs within the ARCHIMEDES development
program, and is currently planned for launch to a 200km peak altitude
from the SSC ESRANGE rocket test site near Kiruna, North Sweden on top
of the REXUS4 sounding rocket managed and built by the DLR Moraba group
of Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.
