The VS-30 is a Brazilian sounding rocket, derived from the Sonda-3 sounding rocket.[1] It consists of a single, solid-fuelled stage, and has been launched from Alcantara in Brazil, and Andøya in Norway.
It has been launched both on its own, or in the VS-30/Orion configuration, with a American Orion upper stage.[2] On its own, it can reach an apogee of 140 kilometres,[1] and with an Orion upper stage, it can reach an apogee of 320 kilometres.[2] The VS-30 is also used as the upper stage of the VSB-30 rocket.
