From The Space Library
A Starfire I rocket manufactured by EER Systems Corporation of Vienna, Virginia failed to achieve suborbital flight after launch from the White Sands Missile Range. The flight carried nine microgravity experiments. At a cost of $3 million, the Starfire rocket was thought to be an inexpensive way to carry out experiments without the costs associated with programs such as the Space Shuttle.
