Abstract
Ever since the first creation of a Bose-Einstein-Condensate (BEC) in 19953'4 the idea of using such an ultra-cold gas as the source of an atom interferometer has been discussed. It is especially appealing to use such a device in space born experiments to measure gravitational effects with unprecedented precision. A first step towards such a space born atom interferometer will be taken with the experiment MAIUS. It will be an atom-optical experiment onboard a sounding rocket able to produce a BEC in the thermosphere and conduct first atom-interferometric tests in this environment.
