Scientific paper

The report describes the history of rocket development before and during the Second World War and their use as sounding rockets in Europe, the USA and the USSR, and outlines the technical, operational and scientific features of sounding rockets. The major European national sounding-rocket activities and those of ESRO from the early 1960s to the early 1970s are described, a period when sounding rockets represented an important part of space research. Over that time span, several hundred sounding rockets (up to 500 per year around 1970) were launched worldwide each year.
