Petikan wiki (link):

A sounding rocket or rocketsonde, sometimes called a research rocket or a suborbital rocket, is an instrument-carrying rocket designed to take measurements and perform scientific experiments during its sub-orbital flight.

As early as 1947 in the USA, and in the mid-1950s in Europe, a few rockets based on the V2 were used as sounding rockets to study unexplored features of the upper atmosphere and near- Earth orbit. However, all rocket development until the mid-1950s was predominantly aimed at serving military purposes.
