Long Tom (rocket)

Long Tom was the first Australian sounding rocket. It was first launched from the Woomera Test Range in October 1957. It was a 8.2-metre-long (27 ft) two-stage rocket developed to test the range's instrumentation for later projects. In the early 1960s it was superseded by the HAD and HAT sounding rockets.
