The VS-40 (Foguete Suborbital VS-40) is a Brazilian sounding rocket using solid fuel and stabilized aerodynamically.
The original version, VS-40, uses the S-40TM (4,200 kg) first stage engine and the S-44M (810 kg) second stage engine.[1][2][3] This configuration corresponds to the upper stages of the VLS-1 rocket.[4]
Version VS-40M used a S-40M engine for the first stage.[3]
Flights
VS40 performed the following flights:[3][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
| Date | Version | Flight | Site | Mission |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1993/04/02 | VS-40 | V01 | Alcântara | Operação Santa Maria - Qualifying flight for the S44 engine. 760 seconds in micro-gravity.[3] |
| 1998/03/21 | VS-40 | V02 | Alcântara | Operação Livramento - VAP-1 (Fokker) payload.[12] |
| 2012/06/22 | VS-40M | V03 | Andøya | SHEFEX (Sharp Edge Flight Experiment) II payload.[8][9] |
| 2015/11/13 | VS-40M | Alcântara | Operação São Lourenço - SARA Suborbital 1 (reentry experiment) – Failure (exploded on pad) [5][6][7][10][12] |
A flight of VS-40M carrying "SARA Suborbital 2" was planned but eventually cancelled. A future flight of VS-40M carrying HIFiRE 8 is in development.[3]
