Salto di Quirra, in southeast Sardinia near the town of Perdas de Fogu, is an inter-service missile test center operated by the Italian Air Force. It also supports sounding rocket launches and test of larger rockets in support of Italy's abandoned ballistic missile and on-and-of satellite launcher programs.

First Launch: 1961-01-12. Last Launch: 1992-03-18. Number: 131 . Location: San Lorenzo, Perdas de Fogu, Sardinia. Longitude: 9.63 deg. Latitude: 39.53 deg.

Notable were three campaigns of sounding rocket launches by CRA and NASA using Nike Asps and Nike Cajuns in 1961 and 1963. The original ESRO (European Space Research Organization) conducted launches of a wide range of sounding rockets from 1964 to 1972 (Skylarks, Centaures, Beliers, Zenits, and Swiss and German programs). Alfa experimental SLBM's were launched in 1973-75. A test of a version of the Scout rocket in 1992 was unsuccessful.
