==Etymology==
The origin of the term comes from nautical vocabulary ''to sound'', which is to throw a weighted line from a ship into the water to measure the water's depth. The term itself has its etymological roots in the Italian/Spanish and French words for ''probe'', which are "sonda" and "sonde", respectively. ''Sounding'' in the rocket context is equivalent to ''taking a measurement''.
