Abstract
This paper presents development status of sounding rockets containing scientific payload and telemetry at home and abroad. The case of outside, United States is launching sounding rockets in 20-30 flights per year by the NASA program which offers to carry payload weights of 38-680 kg and altitude of 88-1500 km. Europe is launching in 4-5 flights per year by the ESA program. The case of Korean sounding rockets was successful with the launch of three times(KSR-I,II,III), but Korea lags far behind the advanced countries in the field of development technologies for space launch vehicle. We expect that our scientific and industrial technologies will be improved through the research and development of sounding rockets. In this study we proposed necessity and future direction of development in domestic sounding rockets.
