INTA-255

The INTA-255 was a Spanish sounding rocket developed by the Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aerospacial.

It was based on existing british solid rocket motors: four Chick rockets as a booster stage and a single Goose-2 as stage 1. All the engines were fired at launch, with the Chicks burning for 0.2 seconds and the Goose-2 continuing for 17 seconds.

The apogee of INTA-255 was 150 km for a 5 kg payload, the takeoff thrust 42.00 kN, the gross mass 340 kg, the diameter 0.26 m and the length to 6.03 m.
