Sonda is a series of sounding rockets developed and used primarily by Brazil. The name "Sonda" translates to "sounding" in English, which reflects the purpose of these rockets: to collect data from the upper atmosphere and near-space environment. The Sonda rocket program began in the 1960s and aimed to facilitate scientific research and technological development in aerospace.
