message: Sounding Rockets are often used for purposes other than justthis page should be shifted out of the Weather Measurements listings??
:If you know of other projects this would be important to, add their tags to the top.  There's no rule that says there should just be one tag per article.  Thegreatdr 02:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

message: ".....instruments from 50 to 1,500 kilometers....."  Are you sure this is 1,500 Km, this sounds to high, I think it is perhaps 150 Km.

replies: text: It is 1500 km: for instance, a Black Brant XII was launched to over 1400 km a few days ago. --[[User:The rockets are used to carry instruments from 30 to 90 miles (48 to 145 km)[1] above the surface of the Earth, |AndersIE]] (talk) 08:00, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

text: AFAIK, Esrange has launched sounding rockets to over 700 km (heard from people associated with Esrange), i.e. well over e.g. ISS, using the Maxus (rocket). Sounding rockets going up to 1500 km (not 150 km) sounds right but I do not have any immediate source. --Erik J (talk) 08:36, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

message: "Sounding rockets" have been used without instrumentation simply to make smoke trails for researching shock waves, etc.  Current edit ignores this use of the term.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.242.118.143 (talk) 02:15, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Basically a Rocketsonde is a subset of a Sounding rocket. I propose the merge here as there is no need for a separate article. Pierre cb (talk) 12:46, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

message: The units of measurement were given as the miles/pounds first, km/kg second. I have corrected it, albeit without using conversion templates. Also, should it be written as miles or mi? And should those ridiculous American units even be used? They clutter so much space, including them makes it hard to read.--Adûnâi (talk) 03:01, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

message: I think a section is needed which elucidates some of the technical challenges faced by sounding rockets, as well as a subsection about the unique technical challenges associated with performing biological experiments on a sounding rocket.
I don't have time to write this section now, but I found a source that I believe will be helpful to whoever chooses to take on this task. http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2011ESASP.700...63D

message: BilCat and Whpq, I think that forking the "Infobox ship class" template to "Infobox rocket class" may be appropriate here, but I doubt it's usefulness if it is only used in half a dozen articles and the potential to break the complicated template in the future. That's why I prefer to use a ship infobox rather than doing so, it is just plain easier. Cheers, CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 03:40, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: An article like this doesn't need an infobox, as it's far too general a topic. BilCat (talk) 03:47, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I won't add the infobox back again. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 03:54, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

text: I concur.  Not every article needs an infobox.  Whpq (talk) 03:57, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
