A solid rocket motor with 7800 kgf would take the separable payload section to a speed of 1200 m/s. The booster had a diameter of 0.30 m, a length of 1.7 m, a total mass of 135 kg including 75 kg of solid propellant. The payload dart was 56 mm in diameter, 1.25 m long, and had a total mass of 15 kg.

Status: Retired 1959. Payload: 5.00 kg (11.00 lb). Thrust: 76.00 kN (17,085 lbf). Gross mass: 150 kg (330 lb). Height: 2.95 m (9.67 ft). Diameter: 0.30 m (0.98 ft). Apogee: 50 km (31 mi).

Payload: 5.00 kg (11.00 lb) to a 50 km altitude.
