Technical data on payloads carried by ESA sounding rockets that were launched in 1966 were given. The following information is given for each payload: the scientific experiments underlying the payload, the time schedule achieved for the construction and launch of the payload, the mechanical and electrical design of the payload and the outstanding events occurring during its integration, the preparation on the range and launch history, and the subsequent history of the payload and its in-flight operation. Recommendations on how to improve the value and reliability of future payloads were also made. (Author)
