Vesta was a French LRBA Nitric acid/Turpentine sounding rocket. In the late 1950’s LRBA (Laboratoire de Recherches Ballistiques et Aerodynamiques) studied several possible configurations for a ‘Super Veronique’ sounding rocket, with engines of 80 to 250 kN to carry a payload of 100 kg up to 600 km altitude. In 1962 CNES ordered the Vesta configuration. Static tests in 1964 led to a modest series of launches in 1965-1969.
