Regional Meeting on Rocketry and Space Exploration.(blue rubber stamp) Test series trial 23. Supported by the H.O.G. rocket.(text on back) The two series of supply missiles, of the types VRH/64 and RRLV/65, which were launched on the occasion of the Kiel Regional Conference for Rocket Technology and Space Travel in Northern Germany, were used to test new propellants. When carrying out the tasks, these propellants enable easier operation and achieve greater ranges.For the first time, the Darmstadt Electronics Group of the company's Rocket and Space Technology Training and Testing Center used an electronically operated trajectory tracking device for the supply rockets. Due to the need to cover longer distances, this meant that, on the one hand, the landing site for the aircraft was determined and, on the other hand, locating and recovering the devices was made easier.Rocket cards were flown as payload and were handed over to the German Federal Post Office for postal transport after they had been recovered.Kiel, October 2, 1965.
