The genesis of the VSB-30 lies in the SONDA III vehicle, which had its first flight in 1976. In 1996, DLR proposed to Centro Técnico Aerospacial (CTA) the adaptation of its Mini-TEXUS payload to the first stage of SONDA III. This new single stage vehicle is known as VS-30. In 2001, the Unified Microgravity Program for Sounding Rockets proposed to CTA the development of a boosted version of the VS-30. The challenge was accepted and the development of the S31 booster motor started. This work presents the technical aspects of the development of the S31 motor and of the new VSB-30 vehicle. The qualification of the motor will consist of three static firings. The maiden flight is plannned for the beginning of 2004 in Alcântara. The first operational flight from Kiruna is scheduled for the second semester of 2005.
