The INTA-255 was a Spanish sounding rocket developed by the Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aerospacial.
It was based on existing british solid rocket motors: four Chick rockets as a booster stage and a single Goose-2 as stage 1. All the engines were fired at launch, with the Chicks burning for 0.2 seconds and the Goose-2 continuing for 17 seconds.
