The story of the ESRO'S sounding rocket program from 1964 to 1972 is summarized. Questions involving the meaning, the purposes, the achievements, the launch sites, and the payloads of sounding rockets, are discussed. It is shown that the evolution of technological developments of hardware led to an increasing reliability of hardware and operations so that a success rate of 50 percent in 1965 improved to 93 percent in 1972. The space science evolution by means of sounding rockets, is analyzed.
