The intergovernmental negotiations which led to the signature of a convention in April 1962 establishing ELDO, the European Space Vehicle Launcher Development Organization, are described. The initial program of this organization foresaw the construction of a three stage rocket capped by a satellite test vehicle, with the work on each component spread between the four major western European states. After describing the British military origins of the first stage, called Blue Streak, we shall go on to explore how the UK managed to persuade first France, then Germany, and finally Italy to participate in the program.
