Today, I present a sounding rocket. These small rockets, used for many experiments, can reach very high altitudes (up to 1500 km) but do not have a sufficient speed to satellite a charge. The flight remains suborbital and parabolic.
This one is a British Skylark, first model with 1 stage of 1957.
441 Skylarks will be fired until 2005.

With a Vostok rocket to appreciate the size!
