The Swedish Space Corporation's probe rocket BROR was finally able to set off from Kiiruna, I was filming a light show at Oulu's Pyykösjärvi. The rocket rose to 100 kilometers, spreading colorful barium clouds for research purposes.
Surprised at how fast the rocket rose (the first cloud appeared less than a minute after launch), I excitedly clicked the pictures. The plane going north conveniently hit a couple of pictures, but as a much nicer surprise, the northern lights themselves decided to take part in the show.
Unbelievable luck, this was the last chance to launch the rocket and then there were repos!

Samaa näytelmää ihmettelin vaimon kanssa Oulun Jylkynkankaalla. Itsekin epäilin, että Kiirunasta on jokin tutkimusraketti ammuttu taivaalle. Muistelen, että lapsena Rovaniemellä 1970-luvun alussa olisin nähnyt vastaavaa. Silloinkin puhuttiin Kiirunan raketeista. Revontulet olivat kyllä hienot tänä iltana.
Hienot on merkkiaine-pampulat ja revontulet!
