ASP Flying Model Rocket Kit Black Brant III Micro ASP KBB3-MM
The Black Brant III was a sounding rocket built by Bristol of Canada and designed to carry payloads to an altitude of over 100 miles. The first flights took place in June, 1962 at Wallops Island, VA. There were nearly 70 Black Brant III flights between that time and when the last one flew in 1985.
