The constellation of launch complexes and nuclear weapons test sites established by France in Algeria began with the Special Weapons Test Center (CIEES). This began operations at Colomb-Bechar, Algeria, on April 24, 1947. Development of the larger Veronique series required a new facility. This went into operation at Hammaguir, 120 km southwest of Colomb-Bechar, in May 1952. The evacuation of these launch sites was a condition of the final agreement signed in March 1962 that ended the Algerian Civil War. The sites continued in use until finally turned over to the Algerian government on 1 July 1967. French missile test activities moved to Biscarosse, in France, and orbital launches to Kourou, in French Guiana.
The constellation of launch complexes and nuclear weapons test sites established by France in Algeria began with the Special Weapons Test Center (CIEES). This began operations at Colomb-Bechar, Algeria, on April 24, 1947. Two launch areas were established there:
- B0, the first pad, for test of light missiles
- B1, for larger rockets, available from December 1949.
Development of the larger Veronique series required a new facility. This went into operation at Hammaguir, 120 km southwest of Colomb-Bechar, in May 1952.
By the end of the 1950's the launch complexes at Hammaguir had been expanded to include:
- Bacchus for solid propellant sounding rockets
- Blandine for liquid propellant sounding rockets
- Beatrice for Hawk surface-to-air missile tests. This was later used for launches of the Cora test vehicle in support of the Europa orbital launcher program
- Brigitte for the 'precious stones' rocket series, culminating in the Diamant orbital launcher
The evacuation of these launch sites was a condition of the final agreement signed in March 1962 that ended the Algerian Civil War. The sites continued in use until finally turned over to the Algerian government on 1 July 1967. French missile test activities moved to Biscarosse, in France, and orbital launches to Kourou, in French Guiana.
Minimum Inclination: 34.0 degrees. Maximum Inclination: 40.0 degrees.

Launch Site: Hammaguira. Launch Vehicle: Eole. FAILURE: Failed after seven seconds of flight.. Failed Stage: 1.- Test mission - .
Nation: France.
Apogee: 0 km (0 mi).
Weeks of delays due to problems with getting liquid oxygen to the remote test site have delayed Barre's entry in the fly-off against the Veronique. The first Eole broke up after 7 seconds of flight, a failure attributed to tracer flares fitted to the fins.
1952 November 24
Launch Site: Hammaguira. Launch Vehicle: Eole. FAILURE: Failed after 25 seconds of flight.. Failed Stage: 1.- Test mission - . Nation: France. Apogee: 2.95 km (1.83 mi). The tracers used on the last flight were omitted. This rocket again loses its fins, but continued to an altitude of 2.95 km. It is determined that the fins were not able to withstand going through the sound barrier..
