The '''SSBS''' was a series of [[French Armed Forces|French military]] [[medium-range ballistic missile]]s. 

==Overview==
The first series, SSBS S1, was launched between 1965 and 1968.  It had a maximum altitude of {{Convert|500|km|mi}}, a lift off thrust of 440&nbsp;kN, total mass of {{Convert|25,000|kg|lb}}, a diameter of {{Convert|1.50|m|in}} and a total length of {{Convert|15.10|m|ft}}.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/ssbs.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071206110429/http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/ssbs.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 6, 2007 |title=SSBS |publisher=[[Encyclopedia Astronautica]] }}</ref>
