Topaze Ci (VE.111Ci, I for instable-unstable) had a shortened stabilization skirt aft to prepare for the SLBM version. Topaze C (VE.111C, C for Court-Short) was to test overall performances and piloting. The following step was VE.111 Topaze, built on the new NA-802 booster, with an inertial platform and four moveable nozzles and was the ancestor of future Diamant space launcher second stage. In 1963-64 four ights (+ one failure) of VE.110R Agate RR were made to test ocean recovery.Ī lighter version, VE.110B Agate B was red to test overall performances.Īgate was a true ballistic, unpiloted vehicle. In 1961-63 eight ights of the more powerful VE.110 Agate (built on the NA-801 Mammouth booster by Nord-Aviation) reached both greater speed and altitude. The purpose was to qualify the equipment bay, telemetry and recovery phase.

SEREB started the EBB (Études Balistiques de Base) studies, soon developed into the “Pierres précieuses” (Precious Stones) program of test beds to prepare for Saphir, the rst full French prototype for future ICBM/ SLBM.ĭuring 1960-61 four ights were done of the VE.10 Aigle (VE= Véhicule d’Essai, test vehicle) and his shrunk version VE.10A, both built around the new Stromboli powder engine from Sud-Aviation. Later these three entities merged with others to become Aerospatiale, then a founding partner of EADS, the European group.īy the late 50’s the USA had demonstrated the advantages of solid fueled intercontinental missiles (ICBM and SLBM): easy handling and minute launching. Vehicles were made by Nord-Aviation and Sud-Aviation, the twin recently nationalized companies. As a public-private organization SEREB didn’t have its own production facilities as to avoid concurrence with other programs.
