It is here that the WAC Corporal rocket probe became the first rocket to reach 50 miles (80 km) altitude in October 1945.

100 km by sounding rocket to carry out measurements and then analyse the results.

The sounding rocket also serves as a technology demonstrator, since it will use our main hybrid rocket engine, which is designed also for the Mini-Launcher.

Further key subsystems of the Mini-Launcher are also tested in the sounding rocket.

The Vanguard was the first American space exploration rocket designed from scratch to be an orbital launch vehicle - rather than being a modified sounding rocket (like the Juno I) or a ballistic missile (like the U.S. Army's Redstone missile).

Because the test is only taking place on a sounding rocket, the satellites will not actually go into orbit around the Earth.

Our first product will be a sounding rocket that will carry 350 kg of payload to 200 km altitude (suborbit).

Virgin Galactic took to the skies today for the first test of its rocket-powered spacecraft in over three years.

That's the aim of the Cryofenix sounding rocket flight, which analyzed the behavior of liquid hydrogen in microgravity, and tests on the HX demonstrator.

It was the only sounding rocket developed in Germany.
