Team

We are a team of six bachelor students of physics at the Christian Albrechts Universität zu Kiel in northern Germany. The project team was set up in September 2013 after the BEXUS project was presented to us by former BEXUS team MONSTA from our physics institute. We are strongly supported by team MONSTA and all people of the Extraterrestrial Physics Department in Kiel.
