Developed by the Center for Scientific and Technological Research for Defense CITEDEF, the Gradicom 2 was developed by a team of 70 enginers in the fields of solid propellant, structures, electronics and telemetry, in a job that took a year and cost four million pesos. The vehicle had a liftoff mass of 933 kg and was 7.7 meters long. By 2012 a second test missile of twice the size, the Orbit, was to be launched. Ultimate objective was a dual-purpose vehicle that could be used as a guided missile (with guidance and control systems) or as a ballistic rocket.
