TEXUS is a European microgravity research sounding rocket programme. As of April 2008, there have been 45 flights, the most recent launching from Esrange on 21 February 2008.
The first mission was conducted on 13 December 1977, using a British Skylark rocket. All missions up to TEXUS-41, which flew on 2 December 2004, were conducted using Skylark rockets. Following the Skylark's retirement in 2005, TEXUS launches switched to the Brazilian VSB-30 rocket.
