Rockets is a French space rock band that formed in Paris in 1974 and relocated to Italy in 1978.
Some of the former members had played together since 1970 in a local band called Crystal.
In their most successful era (1977–1982) the line-up comprised vocalist Christian Le Bartz, bassist and vocalist "Little" Gérard L'Her, guitarist and keyboardist Alain Maratrat, drummer and percussionist Alain Groetzinger, and keyboardist Fabrice Quagliotti.
In the year 2000, Fabrice Quagliotti decided to reform the band (initially with the name Rockets N.D.P.
This brought to an anomalous situation, as far as none of the former members agreed to hold a reunion.
