Long Tom (rocket)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Long Tom was the first Australian sounding rocket. It was first launched from the Woomera test range in October 1957. It was a 8.2-metre (27 ft) long two-stage rocket developed to test the ranges instrumentation for later projects. It was superseded by the HAD and HAT sounding rockets in the early 1960s.
