The Seedart is one of a family of low-cost sounding rockets designed and manufactured by Colspan Environmental Systems, Inc. in Boulder, Colorado, in the 1960s and early 1970s. This two-stage, solid fuel rocket is one of the smallest sounding rockets ever built. It was used for low-altitude meteorological research.
