Sounding rocket. Year: 1967. Family: Other Suborbital Vehicles. Country: UK. Petrel was a larger sounding rocket built by Bristol Aerojet using the same tube-launch technique as Skua. A total of 240 Petrels were launched from 1967-1982 from many sites around the world. Manufacturer: Bristol Aerojet. Launches: 240. Failures: 6. Success Rate: 97.50%. First Launch Date: 1967-06-01. Last Launch Date: 1982-08-11. Launch data is: complete. Apogee: 140 km (80 mi). Total Mass: 200 kg (440 lb). Core Diameter: 0.19 m (0.62 ft). Total Length: 3.30 m (10.80 ft).
Model: Petrel 1. Year: 1967. Family: Other Suborbital Vehicles. Country: UK. Petrel was a larger sounding rocket built by Bristol Aerojet using the same launch technique as Skua. Three Chick rockets blasted the upper stage and payload out of a 10-m long launch tube. The 4.5 kN Lapwing second stage burned for 30 seconds. A unique aspect was that the Chick boosters could be recovered and reloaded with propellant. Manufacturer: Bristol Aerojet. Payload: 18 kg (39 lb). Apogee: 140 km (80 mi). Liftoff Thrust: 20.000 kN (4,496 lbf). Total Mass: 130 kg (280 lb). Core Diameter: 0.19 m (0.62 ft). Total Length: 3.34 m (10.95 ft).
Model: Petrel 2. Year: 1977. Family: Other Suborbital Vehicles. Country: UK. Improved Petrel using four Chick boosters and a lengthened Lapwing second stage which provide 4.5 kN thrust for 40 seconds. Petrel 2's were also fired as targets for missile tests at Woomera. Manufacturer: Bristol Aerojet. Payload: 18 kg (39 lb). Apogee: 175 km (108 mi). Liftoff Thrust: 27.000 kN (6,069 lbf). Total Mass: 160 kg (350 lb). Core Diameter: 0.19 m (0.62 ft). Total Length: 3.70 m (12.10 ft).
