After outperforming their competitors here in Gothenburg, they went to Stockholm to face twenty other high schools that had also qualified. Magnus Hall who has stood by their side all along, attributes the team’s success to the students different individual talents and their extraordinary ability to work together. The delegates are Manar Youssef (NP2), Saz Rashed (SP2A), Amal Abdelatif (IB11), Nermin Elagouz (NP3) and Hugo Dürr (IB12).

NASA is another source with a lot of valuable information on the subject. At the Swedish Institute of Space Physics there are links in both Swedish and English that will take you further into the subject.
