'Regener-Tonne' (''Prof. Erich Regener's barrel'') was the name of the first scientific payload for a Rocket to reach high altitude.
Developed from 1942 to 1945, it was supposed to be launched with a A4 (V-2) to examine the high atmosphere in order to improve the precision of the A4. Even though the parachute was tested in the assembly hall of Prüfstand VII in Peenemünde and a mock-up was launched in January 1945, the ''Regener-Tonne'' itself was never launched.
