Illustration of a Black Brant IX sounding rocket. Sounding rockets are used to carry out experiments and research at altitudes between those covered by weather balloons and satellites (between 48 and 145 kilometres). The Black Brant IX is a 12 metre, two-stage rocket, consisting of a rocket motor, which powers its ascent, and a payload of scientific instruments. It was first launched in 1982 and is still in use as of 2020. | |
