WAC
Corporal
A small liquid-propellant sounding rocket developed by the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory for the United States Army. It was the first
true sounding rocket because it was built for no other purpose than
upper air research. The WAC Corporal used an attached Tiny Tim
solid-propellant booster to clear the launch tower.
