TheINTA-300, also known as the"Flamenco", was a two-stage Spanishsounding rocket. It consisted of a launch stage from the type Heron and an upper stage of the type Snipe.

Based on aBristol Aerojet'sINTA-255 rocket, the INTA-300 is capable of reaching altitudes of 300 km (186 mi) alone and to 50 km (31 mi) with its maximum payload weight,^[1] having a thrust of 138.00 kN.

The intent of the INTA-300 was to be able to lift a payload of 50 kg to 300 km. With the help of the Bristol Aerojet, theInstituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial was able to make a powerful enough prototype in 1981, after three unsuccessful launches. By the time of the fourth model's construction, funding had been cut.^[2]

When funds became available again in the 1990s, the fourth model of the INTA-300 was modified into a more efficient model dubbed theINTA-300B, capable of carrying heavier payloads and reaching higher altitude.^[3]

The INTA-300 was launched by INTA six times between 1974 and 1994 fromEl Arenosillo.^[2]
