Sounding rocket. Country: UK. Status: Retired 1981.

In 1959, the Royal Meteorological Office's High Altitude Research Unit contracted with Bristol Aerojet and RPE Wescott to develop a low-cost meteorological rocket designed to reach altitudes of 80 km. The resulting Skua design consisted of Chick boosters which burned for 0.2 seconds to blast the rocket 20 m above the 5 m launch tube. Then the Bantam second stage would ignite and boost the payload to altitude. Four Skua variants were flown over the years.

Manufacturer: Bristol. Launches: 429. Failures: 4. Success Rate: 99.07%. First Launch Date: 1962-01-01. Last Launch Date: 1981-12-09. Launch data is: incomplete. Apogee: 70 km (43 mi). Core Diameter: 0.13 m (0.42 ft). Total Length: 2.20 m (7.20 ft). Version:

Skua 1.

In the original Skua version, 3 Chick boosters were used. The Bantam second stage burned for 30 seconds to boost the payload to 70 km. The payload deployed a radar-reflective parachute to allow winds aloft to be measured, and readings from a thermometer were radioed to the ground. More than 900 Skua 1's were launched from 11 sites in six countries.

Launches: 239. Failures: 3. Success Rate: 98.74%. First Launch Date: 1962-01-01. Last Launch Date: 1973-06-06. Payload: 5.00 kg (11.00 lb). Apogee: 70 km (43 mi). Liftoff Thrust: 20.000 kN (4,496 lbf). Total Mass: 58 kg (127 lb). Core Diameter: 0.13 m (0.42 ft). Total Length: 2.24 m (7.34 ft).

  • Stage1: 1 x Skua-1. Gross Mass: 40 kg (88 lb). Empty Mass: 10 kg (22 lb). Motor: 1 x Bantam. Burn time: 30 sec. Length: 2.20 m (7.20 ft). Diameter: 0.13 m (0.42 ft). Propellants: Solid.
Version:

Skua 2.

Skua 2 was used 4 Chick boosters and a lengthened Bantam motor to take more complex 5 kg scientific payloads to 100 km altitude. More than fifty Skua 2's were fired between 1967 and 1972 as part of the British national space program.
