Skylark was a family of British sounding rockets. It was operational between 1957 and 2005. Development of the Skylark begun during the early 1950s at the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE), which approached the Royal Society with an offer for it to carry scientific experiments. During early 1955, the British government agreed to provide £100,000 to support the programme's operations for four years. Development of the Skylark, initially known as the CTV.5 Series 3, was pursued at a rapid pace, with hopes that initial launches could take place during the latter half of 1956.

  • Skylark (originalmente llamado Gassiot High Altitude Vehicle) fue un cohete sonda británico propulsado por combustible sólido. La primera versión fue desarrollada a finales de los años 1950 por la Royal Aircraft Establishment y empezado a usar en 1957, durante el Año Geofísico Internacional. Estuvo en servicio hasta 2005. La versión original usaba un motor Raven, derivado del motor usado en el cohete sonda Rook. El Raven del Skylark quemaba 840 kg de propelente (perclorato de amonio y ) en 30 segundos, con un empuje de 1450 kN a nivel del mar. En las versiones iniciales la aceleración inicial del cohete era tan baja que se necesitaba una torre de 50 metros de alto para mantener la estabilidad del cohete en el inicio del lanzamiento, problema corregido en variantes posteriores. El Skylark también fue usado cuatro veces por la NASA en 1961 haciendo lanzamientos desde Woomera en un programa de obtención de imágenes estelares desde el hemisferio sur.​ El ESRO lanzó 82 Skylark antes de que fuese disuelto en 1971.Desde 1974 a 1976 Se lanzaron 9 Skylark de distintas versiones desde la base española del Arenosillo.​ Programas científicos alemanes y suecos utilizaron cohetes Skylark para llevar a cabo experimentos en microgravedad hasta 2005.Se lanzaron 442 cohetes en total entre 1957 y 2005.

  • Skylark est une famille de fusées-sondes à propergol solide développée dans les années 1950 par le Royaume-Uni. Elle a été utilisée pour réaliser des expériences scientifiques dans la haute atmosphère par ce pays mais également par la NASA, l'ESRO et les agences spatiales de la Suède et de l'Allemagne. Plusieurs versions ont été développées permettant de lancer pour les premiers modèles 45 kg à une altitude maximale de 200 km et pour les modèles les plus puissants 200 kg à 575 km. Elle a été lancée à 441 exemplaires entre 1957 et 2005 depuis différents sites tels que Woomera, Esrange. Salto di Quirra et Andoya. En 2020, un projet de fusée suborbital nommé est en développement.

On 7 April 1956, the existence of the Skylark rocket was publicly revealed under the early name of Gassiot vehicle. Launch facilities were established at the existing Woomera missile range in Australia; the Skylarks were produced in Britain and flown to Australia for final assembly, testing, and launching. The Skylark was first launched on 13 February 1957; the first scientific mission occurred during April 1958, quickly becoming regarded as a valuable platform for various fields of research. The vast majority of launches would be performed from Woomera, although other launch sites would later be used at sites across Europe and South America. The British government opted to terminate its support of the programme in 1977, with responsibility for Skylark being turned over to British Aerospace. It continued to be operated for decades more. The 441st and final launch of the Skylark took place from Esrange, Sweden, on 2 May 2005. Launches had been carried out from various purposes, with some military missions being flown, users extended far beyond the UK to include NASA, the European Space Research Organisation (ESRO), and German and Swedish space organizations.
