Bélier (rocket)

Bélier is the designation of a single-stage French sounding rocket. Three versions of the Bélier were launched between 1961 and 1970 at the CIEES launch facility at Hammaguir, the Salto di Quirra and Ile de Levant missile ranges, and Kourou Space Center. After its retirement, the Bélier was used as an upper stage of other French sounding rockets, including the Dragon.
